CONTEMPORARY REFLECTIONS OF SUFI IDEALS OF TOLERANCE IN INDIAN SOCIETY

Аннотация

This thesis explores the contemporary relevance and manifestations of Sufi ideals of religious tolerance within the diverse and dynamic social fabric of modern India. Against a backdrop of increasing communal tensions and religious polarization, Sufism continues to offer a spiritual and sociocultural antidote through its doctrines of compassion, nonviolence, and unity. This work focuses particularly on how classical and neosufi traditions shape interfaith dialogue, influence national cohesion, and contribute to spiritual pluralism in 21st-century Indian society.
