Kolkata, June 8 -- Bengal Governor RN Ravi said that the new world is not just shaping a new Bharat but Bharat is shaping the new world according to our civilisational values.
"The present developments across the world also offer us opportunities, not just challenges. The opportunity for Bharat is to reshape a new world order. Our civilisational value is Vasudhaiva
Kutumbakam. Bharat is looked upon by the Global South and much of the world with hope, because when we rise, we do not rise at the cost of others. We rise as shared prosperity." the Governor said, addressing a session on "Prevailing Global Situation & Impacts on India" by the Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC).
The Governor said that unity in apparent diversity is the foundational idea of Bharat.
"People with different languages, food habits and climates have all shared a worldview and shared vision," he added. Arup Raha, Former Chief of the Air Staff of India said that the global environment has never been peaceful or tranquil.
"The underlying factors that cause upheavals in the world need to be studied thoroughly so that we can understand their impacts and work out solutions for our own country that are workable. India is actually an oasis in the desert of instability all around us - be it political, economic, or military upheavals," he added.
