The role of ethics is to offer us guidance about what to do in the different circumstances of our lives. It has to particularize the general principle: "Do good and avoid evil." In a community it governs our relationship with one another. it also helps us in acting together when we are pursuing common goals. There many situations in life in which it is not easy to specify what is good and evil. One such situation is the multireligious context in which we are yliving in Tamil Nadu. Each religion has it own way looking at life and reality. Of course, this situation is not peculiar to us. The world is today pluralistic. Even in countries dominated by one religion, there are small minority groups belonging religions. Within the majority religious group itself, there may be people who are secularized, agnostic, or nonbelieving. There may also be differences between personal and public lives. At the level of economic and political life people may be guided by various ideologies. This context is very sensitive, precisely because of the intimate relationship that exists between ethics and religious belief. Religious pluralism therefore involves ethical pluralism.
