Title of the paper : Buddhism and its relevance in Contemporary India

Abstract: Not only for its spiritual sublimity but also as a socio-political system that championed equity and egalitarianism, the teachings of Lord Buddha have had a lasting impact on the standards of Indian civilisation and found practitioners abroad. Terrorism and other violent means of expression, such as forced displacement and political battles, are on the rise at a time when the world is increasingly divided along communal lines, highlighting the need for a return to Buddhas teachings to discover not only peaceful means of resolving these issues but also ways to cultivate peace on a global scale. The paper Buddhism and its relevance in Contemporary India emphasises a deeper understanding of Buddhas life, teachings, and dhamma for developing a peaceful and stable world political order. In the violence-ridden society of todays time, returning to Buddhas ideals and ideas are a must to ensure a sustainable future.
