Birth anniversary of Basaveshwara

Early day motion 1156, tabled 28 April 2025 by Barry Gardiner (Labour). Signed by 2 members.

That this House welcomes the birth anniversary celebrations of the social philosopher and Hindu Saint, Basaveshwara, which will take place on 30 April at the Albert Embankment in London; notes the contemporary relevance of his teaching about religious tolerance and mutual respect, at a time when India is mourning the deaths of 26 innocent tourists through the unprovoked attack at Pahalgam by cross border terrorists associated with the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba; and recalls Basaveshwara's legacy as a foundational thinker about democracy, equality and human rights in the Indian subcontinent.
