Summary
Peace has become more illusive than ever in India. The problem of violence in its various garbs increased after India became an independent nation in 1947. This research is an exploration on the role of religion and the place of peace in India today; particularly in light of the violence that has gripped the nation. The rationale of this research is grounded in critical hermeneutics. The data presentation is comprised of quotations and extracts from research conversation partners, which are analyzed through the research categories of Identity, Understanding and Solicitude. The aim of this research is to shed light on the different ways of thinking about the role of religion and the preservation of peace based on the opinions of selected participants representing five selected belief systems of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism in India. The findings from this research provide a true picture of India today. This research topic may be significant in light of global complexities that leaders in India, and possibly beyond, face in government, education, and diplomatic and international relations. This research can be used for curriculum development in schools and colleges.
