Karan Singh warns of effects of Violence
Flagging the ongoing unrest in Kashmir and the recent instances of caste atrocities, senior Congress leader Karan Singh has underlined the “devastating” effects of violence.
Speaking at the launch of a book on non-violence on Friday night, he said: “If you still have societies which preach their children hatred for other nations or other religions, how can you expect to grow them in a non-violent situation?”
In the face of “endemic” violence across the world, the question that confronts the human race today is one of its survival, he said.
“We have ended up discovering the ultimate weapon of destruction. Whether the human race will survive or not is still an open question as one of the two major threats, international terrorism or climate change, is enough to wipe it out,” Karan Singh said.
