Panjab University: Research Journal Social ScienceSummary: Intolerance refers to a mindset of a person or a group who does not accept others' opinions, worldviews and ideologies concerning religious, social, and political matters. It disturbs cultural harmony, democratic set-up, coordination and co-integration among members of an integrated society in the sense that it denies the possibility of dialogue, argumentation, deliberation and discussion with opponents (others) by creating an artificial threat to national security, integrity and unity. In this regard, the paper, firstly, seeks to understand the sociocultural context of India, highlighting issues of caste, patriarchy and religiosity. It explores - how different identities such as religious, social and political have been formed in a historical and cultural context and how a dominant group and its members often develop an attitude of intolerance towards others. Second, to explore – why in recent decades with free market capitalism, the growth of information- technology and the emergence of consumerist culture, the issue of intolerance has emerged as a noticeable phenomenon in every sphere of life. Third, by invoking the ideology of Swami Vivekananda, this study intends to explore the possibility of addressing the issue of intolerance.- Reproduced
