Manipal:

A seminar on ‘Understanding Islam’ will be organized by the Centre for Gandhian and Peace Studies, Manipal University, at 3.30pm at Old TAPMI building behind Manipal post office on Saturday.

Prof  Varadesh Hiregange, director, Centre for Gandhian and Peace Studies, Manipal University, said the seminar proposes to explore different dimensions of Islam as a religious culture with its own belief systems, philosophy, science, day-to-day practices, festivals, customs, and diversity and reforms movements.

“It is an attempt to understand Islam in its diversity as practised in different regions of the world, much against the image of a ‘stereotype’.

The seminar essentially makes an attempt to clear all the misunderstandings,” he said.
