I have long wondered how the religious life of the subcontinent would have evolved, had partition not intervened. Project Noon provides us with some glimpses of what inconceivable wonders might have resulted with the coming together of one of the oldest religious traditions of the world- Hinduism- with one of the youngest- Islam- with the two interacting on terms of equality, and even cordiality, with each other.

Project Noon is providing an invaluable forum for the thoughtful discussion of the problems and possibilities of more open and creative inter-religious relations. I commend the Noon Dialogues as “an interfaith quest for meaning in the modern world.”
