India gave refuge to the Persian Parsis over a thousand years ago, fleeing intolerance and oppression, and helped them sustain their ancient civilization. India has been a country of refuge for many oppressed peoples, and remains a sacred land for spiritual seekers worldwide. If other countries followed India's model of seeking the truth through introspection and meditation, rather than trying to impose it on others by force, we would have much less conflict in the world.
