Abstract
The world has witnessed innumerable incidents of violence that are born of religious intolerance in the human history since time immemorial. On the intellectual plain, no religion can pride itself on having fully revealed the mystery of reality; and on the existential plain, man suffers more and more the attraction as well as repulsion of other religions. Such facts give rise to the insufficiency of religions in their claim of being the supreme religion to be true for all, everywhere, and all the time and hence to be followed by all in the planet earth. Thus any absolutist claim made by fragile and contingent human beings on behalf of any religion is bound to fail and thus create religious based conflict among the diverse religious groups. So to end any conflict born out of mutual religious exclusivism, various ways must be sorted out. In this paper, inter-religious dialogue and human rights that promote religious freedom are selected as the main topics for discussion that can contribute towards resolving the religious born conflicts. Thus the aim of this paper is mainly to look into what extent Inter-religious dialogue and human rights can fruitfully work to diminish religious born conflicts in our societies of diverse religions. To substantiate the paper and to realize its ultimate goal, informations have been gathered from the secondary data.
