Abstract
Indian ethics is deeply rooted in the philosophical and spiritual traditions of the subcontinent, offering a unique framework that integrates metaphysical insights with practical morality. This paper examines the foundational principles that shape Indian ethical thought, including the interconnectedness of life, the concept of dharma (moral duty), the doctrine of karma (cause and effect), the pursuit of liberation (moksha or nirvana), and the principle of non-violence (ahimsa). Drawing from canonical texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, Jain Sutras, and Dhammapada, as well as interpretations by renowned scholars, this study explores how these principles influence ethical decision-making and remain relevant to contemporary discussions on morality. The findings suggest that Indian ethics provides a holistic and timeless perspective on living a virtuous life, emphasizing personal discipline, social responsibility, and spiritual growth.  

Keywords: Indian ethics, dharma, karma, ahimsa, moksha, metaphysical unity, spiritual growth, moral duty, philosophical foundations, ethical principles.
