Abstract

This study is undertaken to explore the experiences encountered by students on the Doctrine of Karma. In modern times it is hard to find youth who believe in our scriptures. It is also possible that the youth may believe in Karma concept without having exact knowledge of this concept. Considering this as a research problem, this study is undertaken to probe the mind of youth. Attempt is made to make them recollect instances in their life where they took decisions based on their principles in life. The researcher has made an attempt to quantitatively analyse the responses received. This social research is quantitative and exploratory in nature. This study makes an attempt to satisfy the objectives of the study by testing three hypotheses. The population comprise of undergraduate students from South Mumbai Colleges with a sample size of 100. The primary data thus collected through Google forms and structured questionnaire is analysed on Excel platform using appropriate t test. F test is used to check the variance. Correlation is also found out before applying the parametric tests. An attempt is also made to find gender biasness in the responses. Findings of this study are expected to be of interest to students and academicians considering the focus and advent of Indian Knowledge System in the New Education Policy.
