In order to steer the world away from conflict and work towards building a humanistic society, a peace symposium was held on Friday on TISS campus. The gathered dignitaries —which included dignitaries like Rishabh Shah, Founder and President, Indian International Model United Nations, Aarti Wig, Co-Founder and Director, Yunus Social Business India and Roshan Dalvi, Retired Judge, Bombay High Court. The keynote address was given by Ishaat Hussain, Former Executive Director, Tata Sons — discussed SGI President Daisaku Ikeda's 2018 peace proposal titled 'Towards an Era of Human Rights: Building a People's Movement' organized by Bharat Soka Gakkai (BSG).
Speaking of the message of the proposal, Ishaat Hussain said: "There is no doubt that every human being has the right to live with dignity. While Daisaku Ikeda asserts this based on Buddhism, it is in fact, a universal principle, common to all faiths. It is this premise that has enabled mankind to prosper over the millennia."
Aarti Wig, who too read the proposal, said: "Outlines a powerful vision and provides pragmatic steps to create a civilization based on the finest human values. In true Indian tradition, it is my strong belief that all beautiful philosophies have at their core, the same message. The message of the SGI Peace Proposal resonates strongly with my own work at the Yunus Social Business, where, inspired by Prof Muhammad Yunus, our mission is to embed the world's economic engine business with the power of selflessness."
"It is not the fact that you reached the top of the mountain that matters, but how you reach the top that matters. In my opinion, the Peace Proposal 2018 shows not just a way to achieve world peace, but also maintain it," Rishabh Shah.
