Addressing the gathering the Dalai Lama said the books
provide an opportunity to learn a lesson from the past
incidents, which hurt the humanity. He said about 20 crore people lost their lives in the world during the last century due to unrest. There is still clash between many countries due to those incidents. He stressed the need to ensure non-violence in the 21st century. He said the 20th century witnessed only materialistic progress but unbearable atrocities were
perpetuated on lakhs of people, which created unrest in the entire Asia including Tibet. “We must work to ensure that the 21st century is the century of non-violence,” he added.
Shri Shanta Kumar described the forced migration of Tibetans from Tibet as the greatest tragedy of the last
century. Another book, Sahityasevi Rajneta Shanta Kumar written by Dr Hemraj Kaushik and published by Kitabghar Prakashan, was also released by the Dalai Lama.

Yogacharya Dr Varunveer, State executive member of the BJP, appealed to the people to unite as Hindus and stop dividing the society in the name of castes and communities. He said if the Muslim population in Western UP continues to grow on the same pace the region would be no different from that of J&K. National convener of Akhil Bharatiya Sant Parishad Swami Narsinghanand Saraswati said similar Sansad would be organised on the same issue at other places. Shri Rajiv Gumber, MLA from Saharanpur, said terrorism took an ugly form where the Hindu population declined.
