K. Jacob (Director, Justice and Peace Mission, Chennai) gave the keynote
address on the theme "Violence and Extremism”. In the words of Prof. John
Kurakar, former URI Global Council Trustee:
“With immense faith in the young ones, we rise up to
regain sanity. We will have one billion voices together, appealing to the
conscience of the world and the masters on the driving seat on the fragments of
the given earth. We aspire to leave a glorious globe for our children and
grand-children to thrive. Let us be peace ambassadors all over the world,
saying no to war and terror. We are strong; we will not falter. We are one; we
will not break. Yes, we are marching forward. We bid adieu to lethargy and
fear. We will shine as the radiant sun. We will not rest until we win. This
victory will not be for a fortunate few, but for all the ones who are fortunate
to be born on this planet, our planet.”
