"Peace is the Way" - Relevance in Contemporary World |

|
 India: Today, we are living in an age of tension, conflict, information explosion and much else besides. Information these days is being managed, packaged and then communicated. As a consequence, it dwindles into disinformation and misinformation. Rarely does it qualify as information fr peace.
Mahatama Gandhi’s message regarding peace was simple, though difficult to drive home his point. Once someone asked Gandhi,” what is the way to peace?” He quickly answered “Peace is the Way”. What Gandhi meant was that a peace is the end; the means must also be peaceful.
Men have to learn that violence breeds violence. That is why, Gandhi in his own time and we in contemporary times have to learn the lesson that terror, violence, bloodshed or means like that can never bring us a jot nearer to peace. We welcome the theme of WACC 2008 Congress. i.e. “communication is Peace” and hope it will communicate the message of peace to the whole world.
