Movie is good. It justifies the title. It revolves around the issues of diverse religious faiths in India and how these people lived in harmony once, irrespective of their differences. All religions are to be respected and adored. Sanjeev Kumar's character, Kabeer, is living Gandhi-way, trying to set an example of higher thinking and simple living. He is knowledgeable and knows the essence of all religions. He tries to practice the messages of Gita, Bible, and Quran. People of different religions are so integrated that one can't differentiate who belongs to which religion. They speak same language, they have similar life styles and do good for each other irrespective of their faiths. Its the one and universal religion of Insaniyat that keeps them together. Few glitches do appear where Gita and Quran happen to do miracles of saving lives but they still seem logical as can be considered as matter of faith, rather than true miracles as shown in some movies of that time. The movie spreads the message of true india where all kinds of people live together, specially of different religions and how they establish harmony. Few examples are:
1) Two best friends - one muslim and another hindu, they perform same type of work. Their work and socio-economic conditions bind them together. They are poor and apparently not much educated but literate enough to read Gita or Quran.
2) The muslim guy agrees to act as the father of a fatherless christian girl when insisted by her christian mother. She will pay him Rs 400 per month for this job.
3) A hindu rich actor, son of a wealthy businessman, denounces his family work and wants to study about all religions, including works of literature. He is educated and is in love with a poor hindu girl. He has high ideals of seeing India as a developed nation, but on principles of Universal love and harmony, where people would stop doing bad deeds if inspired by people like him. He seems to practice non-violence and through his words and acts, inspires others and help them in following the path of humanity. He wants people to read whichever religious book they like but want them to be honest and truthful. He can sacrifice his life for his ideals as he believes that his sacrifice can bring others on a good path. He is an ideal Gandhian, though Gandhi is not referred in the film. He is dreaming for a better, harmonious India.
The movie is all about showing how religious harmony can unite india and how honesty and simple lifestyle can cultivate high ideals. As usual, wealthy people are criticized for their exploitation of poor.
