National Human Rights Commission NHRC chief justice (retd.) Arun Kumar Mishra on June 30 said ' Sarva Dharma Sambhav' or all religions are the same has been the ethos of India and hegemony of one religion "has never been part of our culture, it never was and will never be".
In his address at the opening of a conference in New Delhi on 'Human Rights in Indian Culture and Philosophy', he also said forcible religious conversion was never accepted by India's civilisation and it is "against humanity".
