Free flow of thoughts is important to avoid conflicts linked to religious identities, National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Stressing the need to focus on conflict resolution, he also observed that “introspection” by states and societies has always been important.<\/p>\n

Doval’s remarks came in the context of larger issues linked to conflict between state and religion during the release of the Hindi version of the Turkish-American scholar Ahmet T Kuru’s book ‘Islam Authoritarianism: Underdevelopment – A Global and Historical Comparison’.<\/p>\n

The book has been published by the Khusro Foundation.<\/p>\n

The phenomenon of the relationship between state and religion is not unique to Islam, although in Abbasid rule there was clarity on the role of state and clergy, Doval told a packed gathering at the New Delhi World Book Fair.<\/p>\n

He was deliberating on the broader context of the book’s theme.<\/p>\n

Former Union minister MJ Akbar also spoke at the book release event.<\/p>\n

In the context of Islam, Sufism is practical because “it teaches us a relationship that is not hostile”, Akbar said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
