It is believed that religion’s birth started with flowering and blossoming of human civilizations .However, it is also said that even before the emergence of human civilizations, religion has played instrumental role in one form or another. Men and women in early stages were governed by their chiefs who used to decide what issues or matters were right or wrong, just or unjust, true or false, legitimate or illegitimate and so on. With the passing of time, more quests and explorations were made by individuals or groups of individuals. The chiefs or latter on the kings being burdened with their state affairs opened the doors for other people who were competent to explain the concepts of just and unjust that might have laid the foundation of dharma. In the present paper the author’s aim is to analyse the concepts and practices of dharma both at macro and micro level, at individual and social level and above all at physical level. The paper is entitled with question mark, the purpose being to hammer the people’s mind to think again and again if religion, in organised form, is solving the people’s problems free from hatred, confrontations and rivalries.
