Answer:

 No one can deny the importance of peace especially in the present day scenario. It is important for the smooth functioning of a society and a country. It helps a notion to make progress rapidly. The people working with cooperation contribute effectively in the development of a nation. Hence, we must value it and do accordingly. Along with human resources, other resources can also be fully and efficiently utilized to raise the economic growth of the country. But in a country like India where we find multi-religions, or communities people easily develop their own views and ideas. Such differences very often lead to discrimination, exclusion and persecution. Religious beliefs cannot be excluded from a society. Thus, there is a need of religious tolerance. People have to learn to respect other religions, beliefs, custom? etc. It will help maintain peace and ultimately lead to the progress of the people, resources and the country as well. Religions tolerance is the need of the hour. It is high time for us to know its value and in no way do any thing which may lead to conflict or fight among different communities.
