Governor says Buddha’s teachings vital amid conflict and intolerance in Arunachal Pradesh

The Governor of Arunachal Pradesh emphasized that the moral and philosophical guidance offered by Buddha continues to hold significance in contemporary society. In a statement reported by The Arunachal Times, he warned that the teachings are being tested by growing instances of conflict and intolerance across the state.

He highlighted that the core principles of compassion, non‑violence and mutual respect are especially needed as communities grapple with social tensions. The governor called for renewed efforts to promote these values in public discourse and educational curricula.

The remarks come at a time when regional authorities are seeking ways to address communal discord and foster harmony among diverse cultural groups in the northeastern state.
