Caption His Excellency Ranasinghe Premadasa (left), the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, with Jamshed K. Fozdar, a Bahá'í scholar, author of several books, and pioneer to Sri Lanka since 1979. The Prime Minister has played a key role in the government's recognition of the third Sunday in January as World Religion Day in Sri Lanka, as well as being chiefly instrumental in the issuance of the unique and historic World Religion Day commemorative postage stamp. Mr. Fozdar was recently invited to visit the Prime Minister and to witness the progress in the field of 'Village Reawakening' which involves self-help, ethnic understanding, interfaith amity and the whole gamut of daily village life from the grassroots up. The national movement, under the direction of the Prime Minister, has counterparts in Third World countries on three continents. Mr. Premadasa spent the better part of two days with Mr. Fozdar discussing various aspects of Buddhism and the Bahá'í Faith, and was especially pleased to receive one of Mr. Fozdar's books on Buddhism as well as a copy of Religion for Mankind.
