 This religious syncretism based on the vasudhaiva kutumbakam, unity in diversity and multi-communitarianism is a result of centuries of interfaith exchange and accommodation among Indian religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism) and foreign origin religions (Muslim and Christian) where in India communities preserve own cultural and religious identies while facilitating the shared celebration of festivals, customs and traditions.The shared Indian national identity is separated from the personal religious identity where nation and common social good comes first above the personal religion.Various iconic people of several religions related to the Bhakti movement, a medieval initiative for the revival and recontextualisation of ancient Vedic traditions, are example of this tehzeeb.
