Urbanisation in India: Basic Services and People's Participation (Urban Studies Series No.2)

India and Its Spiritual Heritage

India is the home of religion, philosophy and spirituality. Every age, she provides the world with armies of spiritual masters.

Indian Philosophy and Its Unification

The beauty of the Indian philosophy is the grand unification of a Metaphysical God who is the Absolute Reality and the substratum of all existence, and a Personal God who is the basis of all morality, ethics and the inspiration to lead a meaningful life.

Dedication to Science and Logic

Amongst those Indian philosophers who accepted the separation of mind and body and argued for the existence of the soul, there was considerable dedication to the scientific method and to developing the principles of deductive and inductive logic. As keen observers of nature and the human body, India’s early scientist/philosophers studied human sensory organs, analysed dreams, memory and consciousness.

Contributions to Dialectics and Atomic Theory

The best of them understood dialectics in nature—they understood change, both in quantitative and qualitative terms—they even posited a prototype of the modern atomic theory.
