He emphasized the need to preserve India’s ancient values, Sanskar, and knowledge system, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir, to strengthen the region’s social fabric.
LG Sinha called for concerted efforts to instill these values in the younger generation, stating, “We must reach out to every citizen in J&K and reinforce Sant Kabir’s teachings to nurture a society rooted in social harmony and mutual respect.” The event underscored the administration’s commitment to fostering unity and combating divisive narratives, aligning with Kabir’s vision of a harmonious society.
