Unity in diversity is the identity of India."

"The harmonious co-existence of various sects, and beliefs in the country is the specialty of the nation. Saints, Mahatmas, Pirs and Fakirs have played an important role in strengthening the socio-cultural fabric of the country in different periods."

It is with this belief that on the occasion of the annual Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti, I pray from Dargah Ajmer Sharif for prosperity and prosperity of the country."
