Abstract

Leaders of Indonesia's Nahdlatul Ulama, the world's largest Muslim organization, are working to consolidate South and Southeast Asia as an alternate pillar of support for a rules-based international order founded upon respect for the equal rights and dignity of every human being. Integral to this effort is a regional strategy called the "Ashoka Approach," which seeks to reawaken the ancient spiritual, cultural, and socio-political heritage of the Indianized cultural sphere, or "Indosphere"—a civilizational zone that pioneered, long before the West, key concepts and practices of religious pluralism and tolerance.
