Abstract
This study focuses on exploring the social construction of gendered religious identities of Christian women in a university with a particular focus on the ways and strategies through which the Christian female students in Forman Christian College maintain and negotiate their religious identities. This might be according to their self-realization or as an attempt to survive with other religious activities at their institute. This research project is purely qualitative in nature. The research employed six in-depth interviews with respondents chosen through snowballing and purposive sampling techniques. The data was analyzed through codes, categories and themes. The themes were religion and social life, religion and educational institution, religion and feminism, gender differences and role of religion, pressuring issues of women, culture and women.
