tolerantie
English meaning: Tolerance
Dutch Definition
(Nederlands)De bereidheid om andersdenkende opvattingen, gewoonten of gedrag te aanvaarden.
English Definition
The willingness to accept views, beliefs, or behavior different from one's own. Dutch tolerance (gedoogbeleid) is a cultural hallmark — the Netherlands was Europe's first country to legalize same-sex marriage (2001), has a liberal drug policy, and has historically offered refuge to religious minorities (Huguenots, Sephardic Jews, Pilgrims). This tradition of pluralism has comparative value for India.
