Bhikhu Parekh’s Vision of Pluralism

Bhikhu Parekh’s vision of pluralism emphasizes that society is composed of diverse cultures, religions, and beliefs, all of which deserve respect. He argues that differences should not be seen as threats but as opportunities for mutual understanding and learning. Instead of forcing everyone into one way of life, Parekh believes we should foster dialogue and appreciation for diversity, recognizing that common values can unite us despite our differences. His approach promotes open-mindedness, tolerance, and the idea that a vibrant, harmonious society arises from accepting and engaging with our plural identities.
