Who among the following personalities said 'We must not only tolerate other religions but positively embrace them, as truth is the basis of all religions'?
Answer: D
The words are those of Swami Vivekanand (Vivekananda).
At the World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893 and in later lectures, Vivekananda argued that acceptance should go beyond tolerance: one should not merely tolerate other faiths but accept them, since all religions are paths to the same truth. The sentence quoted is a summary of that teaching.
Gandhi spoke of equal respect for all religions (sarva dharma sama bhava), Ambedkar's writing on religion centred on equality and his turn to Buddhism, and Guru Nanak's message was of one God beyond Hindu and Muslim. None of them is the source of this sentence.
