World in One Family
Indian Student Association at Columbia's official statement said that the Association firmly believes in the principles of justice, peace and the sanctity of human life and echoes our culture's value 'Vasudhev Kutumbkum' i.e. The World is One Family, and hence we stand in solidarity with all the people facing conflict and injustice around the world. They termed such a comparison with the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir inaccurate and out of context.
J&K integral part of India, says ISAC
The statement says, UT of J&K has always been an integral part of the Union of India and any attempts to equate it with any conflict around the world in unhelpful, and misguided and it would neither be advisable nor desirable.
The Association has urged all groups and organisations to refrain from such inappropriate comparisons as it will not help the conflict to be understood and addressed in the right way.
