A member of the General Assembly of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly from India stated, “More than 70% of people in India are Hindus, and Muslims are a minority in the country. Therefore, in general, the Muslims of India are facing challenges. When Muslims are a minority in the country, the Shiites of India are considered a minority within a minority.”

The Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “The translator must know the semantic capacities of the words in the source and target languages well, and then choose the closest equivalents, which convey the general meaning in addition to the meaning of the word.”
