The Story in Brief
Archbishop Prince Antony Panengadan said peace begins from within and that God is the source of peace. He spoke at the 'Heal the World – Voices of Peace' programme at St Francis College for Women in Hyderabad on Friday. He quoted Telugu poet Gurajada Apparao and the ancient Indian concept of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (world as one family) as India's message of peace.
Telangana Christian Minorities Finance Corporation Chairman Deepak John said love and peace are interdependent. College principal T. Uma Joseph called on young people to be peace-makers and build bridges, not walls.
The Indian Opinion
The 'Voices of Peace' programme offered inspiring words, but peace requires more than speeches about Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. In a state where communal polarisation is real, a call for internal peace without addressing external provocations can seem hollow. The organisers did not acknowledge specific local tensions or plans for action. The measure of success will be whether such events lead to concrete interfaith initiatives or remain annual gatherings that change nothing.
