Aligarh, Nov 18 (ANI): Aligarh is situated in northwest part of India's northern state of Uttar Pradesh. The city is the seat of Aligarh University, whose foundation is laid on compassion, accord and harmony. This can clearly be seen during competitions organised in the university in which students belonging to different religions, participate enthusiastically. The students spend most of their time together, and create strong bonds of friendship among themselves. Such institutions provide a perfect example of the spirit of tolerance and acceptance of differences, which is a key feature of India's culture. And, their efforts to keep this ethos alive go a long way in strengthening the social fabric of India that is made up of diverse strands.
