India-Banaras (Varanasi, Benares), holy places, religious tolerance
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a great connection between religious tolerance and holy sites due to this kind of holy
places are regarded as sacred, securely and reliable by all human beings who belong to different religions. In this context, India is one of the most pertinent samples in neo-liberal world because of its various holy sites and different religious beliefs. Especially Banaras, the city of India, which is regarded as religious and cultural capital of India, is the center of religious freedom. With religious freedom comes a respect and tolerance for other religions, which is a value held in high esteem in both India and Banaras. This paper, therefore, aims to discuss the relationship between religious forbearance and holy sites by examining the Indian – Banaras sample. The first section mentions about the importance of Banaras in terms of religions and informs about holy places in this city. The second section deals with contributions of holy sites to religious peaces and tolerance under the example of Indian – Banaras model. Along with this, the paper has been supported by interesting photos which have been taken in original sacred places |
