About Us

Fostering interfaith harmony and building bridges between communities through meaningful dialogue and collaborative action.

What We Do

The goal of Indian Pluralism Foundation is to prove the benefits of engaging the youth in Interfaith dialogue and Interfaith activities in a pluralist setting, whilst fostering the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

The primary objective of Indian Pluralism Foundation is to display that peacebuilding action and Interfaith conversations benefit us in exploring diversity, new traditions and the world around us. As we explore the various interfaith questions and curiosity and ingenuity, it is perfectly fine to not have answers to all the questions.

We estimate that Interfaith dialogue benefits the community in that it brings pluralism in our lives in a way that has never been done before. It supports our younger generations to engage with world religions in a tangible way and equips them for working towards harmony in diversity in a world around us.

Our Purpose

The Indian Pluralism Foundation exists to demonstrate that interfaith dialogue and collaborative action are not just idealistic concepts, but practical pathways to building stronger, more resilient communities. Our purpose is rooted in the belief that when people of different faiths come together in mutual respect and understanding, they create something greater than the sum of their individual traditions.

We are committed to proving that peacebuilding through interfaith engagement benefits everyone involved. By creating safe spaces for honest dialogue, we help participants explore diversity, learn about new traditions, and discover the interconnectedness of our shared human experience. Our purpose extends beyond mere tolerance—we aim to foster genuine appreciation and celebration of our differences.

Through our work, we demonstrate that interfaith collaboration is essential for addressing the complex challenges of our time. Whether it's promoting social justice, environmental stewardship, or community development, we show that diverse faith perspectives bring unique strengths and insights that make our collective efforts more effective and meaningful.

Our ultimate purpose is to create a model of interfaith cooperation that can be replicated and scaled, contributing to a world where religious diversity is seen not as a source of division, but as a wellspring of wisdom, creativity, and hope for building a more just and peaceful society.

Our Vision

Within India's rich coterie & tapestry of faiths, threads of commonality are interwoven. We must learn to highlight the importance of seeking common ground, to build mutual respect, mutual admiration and mutual appreciation for the beliefs of others, and the need to protect and expand our common spaces and safe spaces.

Join us on this journey of discovery as we learn to embrace our diversity, appreciate our commonalities, accept our differences, and above all, celebrate our unique identity - one that recognises that we all have a part to play to protect this precious legacy. Only then can harmony in diversity truly be possible.

We emphasize on how our faith communities have contributed in the common spirit of achieving common good for the common man and how everyone's cherished and most treasured values, ethics and practices are widely respected & honoured amongst people of all faiths or no faith. Identifying the importance of finding and emphasizing common ground is a key step to fostering mutual understanding and respect.
