Bankimchandra's controversial views on morality are closely related to religion. This essay discusses some of the central problems of his theory of ethics, including his views on equality, which went through a significant change in the last years of his philosophical career. Further, his convoluted relationship with utilitarianism has been examined. An attempt has been made at reconciling Bankim's claims that sukha (pleasure/happiness) is permanent and that it is produced by virtue.
