In a world that is seeking to break free from mindless hate, violence, conflict and terrorism, the Indian way of life offers a ray of hope, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday.

He also said the Indian way of conflict avoidance is not by brute force but by the power of dialogue.

The innovative zeal of Indians is drawing the world to the country, he told the gathering.
