Hyderabad: ‘Exclusion and Discrimination are manmade concepts and practices. We need to provide training to our kids based on the teachings of justice, truth and equality to help in the creation of an inclusive society’.
Dr Mohammad Aslam Parvaiz, Vice-Chancellor, Maulana Azad National Urdu University expressed these views while delivering a special lecture, “Inclusion and Exclusion as Personality Trait,” to mark the launching of the Hyderabad Dialogue Series. Department of Political Science and Al-Beruni Centre for the Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy (ACSSEIP) have started the Dialogue Series in an attempt to discuss burning social issues in an informal environment.
While elaborating his point, Dr Parvaiz asserted that inclusiveness is part of our natural character. Quoting extensively from different verses of the holy Quran, he said that inclusion of humanity is the first lesson of the holy book. The creator has described the Quran as a source of guidance for the whole humanity without any discrimination. The holy book also asks its followers to respect other religions, scriptures and prophets.
