A Spiritual leader, humanitarian and founder of the Art of Living Foundation, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on Tuesday addressed the gathering on 'Bridging the Gap' at the Republic Summit 2019. During his address, he spoke about deradicalising the youth in Kashmir. Sri Sri said, "It is possible to deradicalise them. We have worked with hundreds of such young people who are thinking the other way, and after a few months of constant interaction with them, they started to embrace the idea of global family. We are also working in Iran to deradicalise youth. Our Indian spirituality has this power, through breathing and meditation we can calm the mind and make people think in a very different direction"
