The intellectual tradition of India is far wide and rich, both in time and space, than any other intellectual traditions. Hellenism and Hinduism are basically responsible for the growth of the basic tenets of the Occidental and Oriental cultures respectively. Since Hellenism and Hinduism represent the real spirit and values of the two different world-views of the Indo-European people living in two extremes of the geographical horizons of the Indo-European world, and that they have long tradition and history much of which still survive in India and not in Greece, <b>I have decided to examine in this paper, in short, the possible reasons for the continuity of the basic spirit in India and the loss of the same in the Greek world-view.</b>
The area and topics of discussion on this subject could be quite wide. Since many scholars, both in India and out side, have discussed some of the topics at length, I have selected some basic concepts from the two cultures for discussion in this paper. <b>The nature, origin, and evolution of languages, the concept of man and the idea of humanism, the concept of cosmology and cosmogony, the nature of justice, social justice, and the meaning and nature of ethics</b> would be my main concern, as <b>these elements form the very core of any culture and civilization.</b> DOWNLOAD DOC<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
