Gandhiana-45:

“I hold that it is the duty of every cultured man or woman to read sympathetically the scriptures of the world. If we are to respect others' religions as we would have them respect our own, a friendly study of the world's religion is a sacred duty.. I regard my study and reverence for Bible, the Koran and the other scriptures to be wholly consistent with my claim to be a staunch sanatani Hindu.. My respectful study of other religions has not abated my reverence for and my faith in the Hindu scriptures. They have broadened my view of life. They have enabled me to understand more clearly many an obscure passage in the Hindu scriptures.”  -  Gandhiji in Young India
