Write a note on Fallacies in Indian Logic.

In Indian logic, fallacies, known as *hetvabhasa* (the semblance of a reason), occur when an argument appears to be valid but is actually flawed due to some defect in reasoning. These fallacies are categorized based on defects in inference and reasoning, affecting the validity of conclusions. Indian logic, particularly in the Nyaya school, identifies five major types of fallacies that arise in the process of logical reasoning.
