The United Nations General Assembly on Friday adopted a resolution to combat Islamophobia. Pakistan presented this proposal. 115 members voted in favor of a UN resolution declaring an international day to combat Islamophobia. 44 abstained and no votes were cast in opposition. India did not participate in voting on this issue. Meanwhile, instead of Islamophobia, India raised the issue of fear against all religions. India's permanent ambassador to the United Nations, Ruchira Kamboj, supported India's abstention and said that India stands against all forms of religious terrorism.
He further said, 'India is against anti-Semitism or Christian phobia or Islamophobia and all anti-Hindu, Buddhist and Sikh sentiments.' He cautioned on a proposal related to Islamophobia, saying that such a precedent should not be set which could result in proposals related to fear related to particular religions. This could potentially divide the United Nations into religious camps. He further said that India is the champion of pluralism. India provided refuge to anyone in the world who faced persecution on the basis of religion.
This fear goes beyond even the Abrahamic religions
He further said, 'All including Parsis, Buddhists and Jews found refuge in India, where they were not persecuted on religious grounds.' He further said that India believes in the principle of equality of all religions. This is visible not only in the culture of India but also in our Constitution. He further said, 'He said that we are against discrimination and violence on the basis of religion. We condemn all acts motivated by anti-Semitism, Christophobia or Islamophobia. But it is also important to recognize that such fears extend beyond the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). Pakistan tried to stop India from joining the United Nations, poisoned the permanent membership
Violence against Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists
The issue of all religions has been raised towards India. Ruchira Kamboj said, 'Evidence has been emerging for decades, which shows that followers of non-Abrahamic religions are also affected by 'religious fear'. It also has particularly anti-Hindu, anti-Buddhist and anti-Sikh elements. He said that attacks on temples, Gurudwaras and monasteries are taking place which is a direct evidence of religious fear. Misinformation was also spread against non-Abrahamic religions in many countries. The destruction of the Bamiyan Buddha, the massacre of Sikhs, attacks on temples and breaking of statues reflect fear towards non-Abrahamic religions.
