Summary: This book delves into the ethical challenges faced by religious organizations in the National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi as they traverse the complexities of social media. While social media has become a powerful tool for communication and engagement, its ethical implications remain largely unexplored in this context. Through a comprehensive survey of 444 participants—including religious scholars, leaders, organizers, and followers—the study highlights the widespread use of platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Telegram, and Twitter. While these platforms offer new opportunities for participation and management, they also raise concerns about information accuracy, privacy, and relevance within the religious sector. The book emphasizes the need for religious organizations to uphold fundamental rights, particularly the freedom of religion, and to safeguard their communities from harmful misuse of social media. It calls for a responsible and ethical approach to digital engagement that promotes unity, respect, and trust in a diverse, pluralistic society.
