'Sarvadharma Sambhava', according to Gandhi means

  • A.All religions should be synthesised.
  • B.All religions teach moral values.
  • C.All religions are to be treated equally.
  • D.There is the unity of all religions.

Answer: C

For Gandhi 'Sarvadharma Sambhava' means that all religions are to be treated equally, that is, with equal respect. He did not want one religion to be placed above another, nor to merge all into one.

Option A, that all religions should be synthesised, is wrong because Gandhi did not wish to blend them. Option B states a true thing about religions but not the meaning of the term. Option D, the unity of all religions, goes further than equal respect, and Gandhi's stress was on equal regard, not on an assertion that they are one. The answer is C.
