- Title
Identity, Religion and Morality.

- Abstract
In this article I have intended to make an analytical study of the concept of human identity from the perspective of religion, with special emphasis on morality, thereby showing the connection between identity, religion and morality. Unlike the theoretical ideologies given by sociologists and theologians, the various forms of violent practices of religious groups observed in the present century are far from establishing a globally peaceful environment through religion. The problem of conflicts and oppression and moral degeneration on the basis of religious violence might be resolved only if we take into account the centrality of self, freedom, individual choice and moral responsibility. For that purpose that I found it relevant to take note of some of the philosophical views and some remarkable practices of Indian thinkers who show the possibility of synthesis between spirituality and harmony, and the connection between religious identity and non violence.
