India’s former President has said that Maldivians are caring and kind people, speaking at an event organized by the India Club at Dharubaaruge last night.
“I am saying this on personal experience. My brother visited Maldives along with his great grand father in a boat. As they arrived Maldives on Eid Day, after eid prayers they had nowhere to go. Locals spotted them and invited them to their houses as they knew they were foreigners. When they went back to India, they had many gifts from Maldives, such as Maldive fish” he said.
Basic message of his address was that regardless of one’s location we shall keep doing our job faithfully and sincerely and keep on performing our family and religious duties.
He also said that all religions call on mutual respect between the religions and said that human beings shall live in the way that they are supposed to live.
He also said that it is a good idea to participate in festivals of other religions as it would increase understanding between the religions.
