Center for Pluralism

This site is about Pluralism Studies in Politics, Religion, Culture, Society, Cuisine, Costumes and other Uniqueness. Center for pluralism is news about pluralism and interfaith, media monitoring and press clippings of the news of the day. By learning to respect the otherness of others and accepting the God-given uniqueness to each one of us, and through trust building we will move forward in to

an era of conflict mitigation and goodwill nurturence. Our programs are designed to bring Americans Together, the more often we see each other in social, cultural, civic, religious. Political and other settings, the stronger the antidote would be against divisiveness, resulting in fewer misunderstandings and misperceptions between us. We need to reassure each other, including the disconnected ones among the White Americans, that together as Americans, we are committed to safeguarding the American way of life. No American needs to worry about losing his or her way of life. As Americans we uphold, protect, defend and celebrate the values enshrined in our
Constitution. We will continue to bring non-stop actions in practicing pluralism in religion, politics, society and culture and be a catalyst for a safe and a secure America for each one of us. Please visit different tabs on the website to get a complete picture of what we do, thanks

I am seeking your support in restoring a dignified social, cultural, political and religious space for every American. You are who you are, and I am who I am, and together let’s be a catalyst to each other in our pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. I am requesting you to take an hour to study our work at the Center for Pluralism. Our mission is simple – to build a cohesive America where no American feels apprehensive or fearful of the other. In the long run, this message has to reach out to other nations where conflicts exist. All our actions, studies, research, writings, programs and discussions are geared to achieve a clear purpose – safety, peace and prosperity of every American. There is a need to revisit the structure of our society and bring about a change, and every change in the society starts with an individual and gains momentum as it is understood by friends and eventually people at large. The first and foremost change is “resetting” our attitudes. Pluralism is an attitude of respecting the otherness of “others.” It has always been there in practice, but more than ever, it needs to become a dominant attitude as an antidote to the divisiveness that is tearing our social fabric apart. A nation’s strength rests on two solid feet – one is the economic prosperity and the other is cohesiveness of the society. A deficiency in one will cause the whole system to weaken. America needs a strong 2nd leg to stand firmly with stability and sustainability. The Center for Pluralism will become the energy to give a solid cohesive social structure to our nation. By the year 2025, there will not be an office, school, playground, college, restaurant, theater, train, bus or a work place where people of different faiths, races, ethnicities and national origins do not work, interact, play, live and marry together. This is bound to create conflicts in airports, public spaces, board rooms, and in bedrooms as well as places of worship, work places, politics, eateries, and schools. It is our responsibility to prevent chaos and maintain coherence and stability with the ongoing changes. We need to prepare the next generation to cope with these changes and minimize potential conflicts with ease. Let’s stay focused on peace and prosperity and not conflicts and confusion. The Center for Pluralism is an initiative of American Muslims, but it is not a Muslim organization. However, it is committed to pave the way for Muslims to become a part of the American story, just as it is committed to do the same for other religious groups. Our programs are geared to bring Americans Together often, the more often we see each other in social, cultural, civic, religious and other settings, the stronger the dose would be against divisiveness, resulting in fewer misunderstandings and misperceptions among us. Here is one line summary of our programs.

A TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER

Today is the 45th Anniversary of my father's death. Every year, on this day, I start my day with prayers, dedicate time for him, and reflect on giving me and my sister and brothers a good life. He was one of the progressive pluralistic Muslims and the Mayor of the Town of Yelahanka. Thank you, Dad.

One of the incomplete transactions of my life was not being able to do the things I wanted to do for my father. As a kid, I would step in and take over the work from him so he could take a rest, an Indian tradition that I cherish. When I moved to Saudi Arabia on an assignment, I sent him my first check, and he started paying off my loan. With the next check I asked him to buy clothes for the family and wanted him to replace his old black Jacket he wore forever with a new one. He said no, first things first. In the first week of December 1977, my check paid off all my loans, and with the next check, I asked him to oblige me. Man, I feel a deluge of emotions as I write this; darn, my eyes are welled up.
He did not get the check, he just had to live his words, “Until my last breath, I will be earning my living and take care of my family.” Darn it, he did it. I was angry at my helplessness and happy that the man kept his word. But that created a huge gap in my life, and I continue to recover my balance by serving my senior friends in whatever little way I can. You can always count on me to drop everything off to attend to a senior’s request.

I am sure each one of you feels some incompleteness in your lives. It is one of the reasons that in all the interfaith marriages I officiate, I ask the couples to appreciate their parents; it completes a transaction for the parents and their children and brings a sense of fulfillment.

Here is a tribute to my father - https://theghousediary.com/happy-fathers-day-tribute-to-my/

Thank you.
