In collaboration with Sarva Dharma Samvaad (SDS) and Interfaith Foundation, Indialogue Foundation
organised Annual Interfaith Dinner 2017 at India International Centre, New Delhi on June 22, 2017. The
idea is not only to bring people from different faith traditions together but also to give them a platform
to engage in meaningful dialogue on some of the pressing issues of our time.
“Role of Religions in Empowering Women” was picked as the theme of this year’s event. Prominent faith
leaders from seven religious communities, namely Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Jewish, Jain and Baha’i
as well as renowned women rights activists and young research scholars addressed an august gathering
of over 125 people. The representatives of PEACE PROGRAM, DJJS, Sadhvi Tapeshwari Bharti Ji
presented insightful message on the theme of Women Empowerment, saying – ‘Devi Sita was one of the
most empowered women of her times owing to her spiritually awakened Self. Some of the other notable
speakers at the event were Ranjana Kumari, Director, Centre for Social Research; Paramjit Singh
Chandhok, Chairman, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib; Swami Prakarshananda, Acharya, Chinmaya Mission
(Delhi); and Qamar Agha, senior journalist and commentator. A video message by Turkish Islamic scholar
Fethullah Gulen in which he shares his views on women’s rights was also played at the event. The
beautiful evening concluded with all the speakers and participants mingling with each other casually
over the sumptuous dinner. The success of this event left us with enormous motivation to continue this
tradition of bringing people together and contributing in the national and international debate on issues
of vital importance.
