Bengaluru, Dec 8: Amid the raging debate over intolerance, Tibetan spiritual head the Dalai Lama today said overall Indians are religiously tolerant.
But there are some politicians and some sections of the media who create sensationalism out of “small things”.
The Tibetan spiritual leader said a lot of problems are highlighted in newspapers but they are not that serious.
Asked about criticism that writers did nothing like returning awards during the Emergency and the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, the Dalai Lama said US President Barack Obama had mentioned Modi as a straightforward and a visionary leader and his visits to different countries has improved India’s image and it is on the path becoming an economic power.
