Unity in Diversity: Analyzing Milli Yakjehti Council’s Efforts in Building Interfaith Bridges

Abstract

Exploring the MYC activities, this article discusses educational aspects of society along with regular conferences and dialogues, publications, and media campaigns. Theoretically, the potentials and difficulties MYC experiences are explored: organizational drawbacks, weak stakeholders’ participation, and passive grassroots activities. According to the framework derived from social identity, conflict, and communication theories, this article assesses the MYC and its theoretical worth. Hence, the study’s findings indicate that more can be done to improve MYC performance by countering existing criticisms of strategic planning, inclusive stakeholder engagement, and intensive monitoring and evaluation. Therefore, by applying a more structured and comprehensive process, MYC can effectively contribute to its primary goals of promoting interfaith tolerance and decreasing sectarian conflict in Pakistan.
