March 26, 2015, 06:00
India, one of the world's largest democracies, and a nation responsible for a long tradition of reform in the field of economics, as well as major social transformations in the 21st century, has become one of the leading economies in the world by volume.
How was this success possible in a highly religious, linguistically heterogeneous and socially complex society?
Given the urgency of this issue for the development of independent Kyrgyzstan, the "Initiative of Roza Otunbayeva", in partnership with the Embassy of India in the Kyrgyz Republic and the Kyrgyz National University, invites you to participate in an open lecture entitled "The secular character of India, despite the pluralistic society."
Invited guest: Mr. Ashok Sadzhanhar (Ashok Sajjanhar), former Ambassador of India to the Republic of Kazakhstan, Sweden and Latvia.
The lecture will be held on March 31, 2015 from 09.30 to 12.00 in the small hall of the KNU. Balasagyn at st. Frunze, 547.
Lectures will be in English with simultaneous translation.
Participation is free with pre-registration at tel .: 0312 660382 (GulzadaUrgunalieva) or e-mail: gulzada.urgunalieva@gmail.com
