India is a multicultural society where people are exposed to a wide range of religious, scientific, and cultural ideas, leading to a questioning of traditional values. This syllabus aims to help students engage with various religious beliefs and practices, fostering understanding and respect for the diversity of religious, ethnic, cultural, and political perspectives. By studying major religions, students will gain insights into different belief systems, clarify their own, and develop skills to address societal issues and resolve conflicts in a pluralistic world.
