Editorial: Religion and Violence

Ever since September 11, 2001, terrorism and violence have become hot topics of discussion in the media. The impression is gaining ground that religion and ideology are the root causes of violence in the world today. It is in this context that we have chosen as the theme of this issue of Jnanadeepa Religion, Ideology and Violence. We wish to explore the religious and ideological factors at work in human society that promote violence.
