Delhi Hosts "India And Muslim World In 21st Century" Conference
The Institute of Objective Studies (IOS) held an international conference on "India and Muslim World in the 21st Century" on Feb 15-16 in New Delhi.
Union Minister of Minority Affairs K Rahman Khan inaugurated the conference which was attended by various dignitaries from India and the Middle East.
IOS Chairman Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam said that the conference would deepen relations between India and the Muslim world, which had enjoyed close ties for centuries, but had drifted apart in the 19th century because of colonial intervention. The relations, however, had been on the mend since India's independence in 1947.
In a statement, he also said that the Muslim world would have a role to play in the creation of a new world order.
The conference discussed topics on Islam in India, economic and financial relations, Islamic banking and finance, scope for educational cooperation, international relations and diplomatic, and India and Saudi Arabia.
