Introduction

While “karma” is used so often in the West today that it has become almost a
household word, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the
socio-political role played by karma in Asian societies, past or present. In
fact, it is no exaggeration to say that the very idea of karma having a
socio-political role will come as a surprise to many. That is to say, how
could an ethical concept like karma, commonly associated with the good or
bad effects of an individual’s acts, play a role in collective entities like
society and politics?
