National Conference brings Interfaith, Academia and PolicyMakers to deliberate ‘Actionable’ Harmony by Gen Z

16 year-old BodhiTrail Founder elevates the Interfaith discussions with 21st century perspectives on public policy

NEW DELHI, April 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — On the International Day of Conscience, BodhiTrail Founder, Riaan Kumar, organized a National Conference on Faith and Policy at the India Habitat Center. With keynote speakers Dr. Kiran Bedi and UNESCO MGIEP Director, Dr. Anantha Duraiappah, it strived to alleviate communal disharmony and improve public policy, by kick-starting a discussion on the impact of faith on policy making.

The first session discussed the theological foundations of communal relations in India. With Riaan as moderator, the diverse panel—Maulvi Dr. Rizvi, Buddhist Leader Geshe La, Reverend. Roby K and ISKCON’s Prabhuji Dasa – quoted various scriptures, pointing out how all religions are united in their quest for peace and fraternity. However, as Dr. Rizvi pointed out communal disharmony is born when people practice faith in selfish and inauthentic ways and that needs to be addressed.

The second session explored how communal relations bear upon policy formulation, ultimately affecting the economic and political well-being of citizens. Shedding light on this relation was Philosophy Professor Dr. Rosenhagen, OP Jindal’s Dr. Pankaj Gupta, Economist Prof. Santosh Mehrotra and SP Spokesperson Mr. Tiwari. They elaborated on how communal disharmony has negatively impacted investor confidence in the Indian market, and inattention to inter-faith harmony has tangible consequences on our country’s GDP.

Both Prof. Dr. Rosenhagen and Dr Pankaj Gupta reiterated that our task really is to calibrate these (economic, religious and political) pressures in a consultative and participatory way.

The event’s audience consisted of students from Delhi-NCR who were specially invited by organizer, Riaan, a senior at The Shri Ram School, Aravali. A keen scholar of Buddhist scripture for four years, his passion for religion and policy inspired him to recently present his research paper on Reflections of Buddhism on Modern Democracy, at the International Society for Research, Malaysia. BodhiTrail organization through its workshops, podcasts, blogs, visits, and conferences, has spread the message of communal harmony to over 15,000 students.

As Dr. Kiran Bedi rightly summarized at the end of the conference, “If youngsters like this (Riaan) start on BodhiTrail at this age, along with good quality education, we are in very safe hands. They will make better leaders.”

BodhiTrail team is currently working to synthesize the conference’s insights into policy briefs by working in tandem with academic experts and ThinkTanks.

Harper Collins Publishers India Presents master storyteller Ashwin Sanghi’s latest adventure-thriller in the chart-topping Bharat Collection, The Ayodhya Alliance

Readers of smart adventure-thrillers and fans of the bestselling Bharat Collection need not wait any longer!

NEW DELHI, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — India’s master storyteller, Ashwin Sanghi, is back with a riveting new novel, the much-awaited eighth book in the Bharat Collection – The Ayodhya Alliance – set to release this June. Written in his signature style, blending mythology, history and intrigue into a compelling plot, this gripping read is perfect for fans of the genre and anyone looking for their next engrossing read. The Ayodhya Alliance is now available on preorder.

An ancient secret. A forgotten science. A battle for the future of humanity.

Talking about the new book, Ashwin Sanghi says, “What if the answers to today’s biggest questions were buried in the secrets of our past? The Ayodhya Alliance is a thriller that delves into legacy, legend, lineage and learning—told in my usual trademark blend of fact and fiction. It is my most ambitious project to date, and I hope that it will be relished by my readers.”

Poulomi Chatterjee, Executive Publisher – HarperCollins India, says, “I have long admired Ashwin for his special ability to connect dots that most of us will never notice – across civilizations and continents, races and religions, the past, present and future – in the most entertaining way possible. As far as adventure thrillers go, the novels in his Bharat Collection stand apart for the superlative imagination and craft he employs to make them riveting page-turners from the word go. The Ayodhya Alliance is undoubtedly the most accomplished and exciting book in the Collection yet. It brilliantly combines current political intrigue with an ancient mystery, and its unexpected twists and turns and frequent revelations will delight readers in the best possible ways. I’m especially glad to be publishing it alongside freshly rejacketed editions of the rest of the Bharat Collection for thriller fans everywhere.”

About The Ayodhya Alliance

An ancient secret. A forgotten science. A battle for the future of humanity.

Seven thousand years ago, as he lay dying on the battlefield of Lanka, Ravana whispered a secret to Lakshmana about a mysterious technology that held the key to Ayodhya’s prosperity and the world’s destiny.

For centuries, desperately sought by explorers, marauders and emperors alike, it has been kept hidden, safeguarded by warriors bound by an ancient oath.

Now, as tensions escalate along India’s volatile borders and a crucial defence project teeters on the brink of failure, Indian industrialist Aditya Pillai and South Korean technocrat Somi Kim are thrust into a mission that will upend everything they know.

The two realize they must act fast, but never once do they anticipate that they will stumble upon startling revelations about a miraculous force that once connected Ayodhya to Kailasa, the Pandyan Empire, Rome, Damascus, Thailand and Korea. As the forces of past and present collide, a question looms large: who will harness the power of the ultimate enigma, and at what cost?

The Ayodhya Alliance spans continents and centuries, seamlessly weaving together science, legend and history in a breathless race against time. In this sweeping, unputdownable story of intrigue, betrayal, survival and love, master storyteller Ashwin Sanghi casts his web wider than ever before, spinning once again a riveting, edge-of-the-seat thriller.
