Explain India’s evolution of the world view. Does it change with the time? Explain the change with examples.

Five aspects of India’s traditional values have a bearing on the evolution of its world-view, namely, preference for a middle way, tolerance, idealist and realist traditions, absence of imperialist tradition, and a habit of expressing positive ideas through negative terms.

1 Preference for the Middle Way

A preference for the middle way has been one of the cardinal features of Indian tradition and culture as seen in the Sanskrit saying, ati sarvatra varjayet meaning “Let us eschew excess at all times”. This saying underlines India’s philosophical abhorrence of absolute, of extremes, of the tendency to see things strictly in terms of black and white. It runs like an unbroken thread through Indian culture. The Indian preference for the middle path is reflected in their attempt to synthesise the goals of dharma, (“duties—whether social, moral, spiritual, or ritual”), artha (“capital accumulation”), Kama (“sensual pleasure”), and moksha (“liberation”).

1.3.2 Tolerance

The aforesaid account of the ancient Indian philosophic attitude of avoiding extremes shows the traditional faith in reason and abhorrence of dogma. As the old Indian saying goes, vade, vade jayate tattvasiddhih: “Enlightenment is achieved through debate.” Ancient Indian tradition believes ____ ___ ________ __________ ______ ________ ______ ____.
