Some religious organizations have welcomed suggestions made by University of Fiji lecturer Professor Satendra Nandan that a common identity for all the people of Fiji is now a vital topic.
The Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints said religious organizations play the most important role in uniting the various races in the country.
LDS church's Taniela Wakolo said what they already preach is that there is only one race.
Fiji Muslim League President Hafiz Khan said it’s the desire for all citizens of any country to be called by a common name linking them to the country they belong to.
National Secretary for Sanatan Dharam Pratinidhi Sabha of Fiji, Vijendra Prakash said there is a need for a major discussion on this topic in religious gatherings.
Professor Nandan said we need energy, imagination, political will, professional ethics and personal integrity to build a nation, brick by brick, word by word, person by person and generation by generation.
