"India was one of the earliest of the great civilizations and it defined the goals of civilized life very differently from the West. The West raised individualism, materialism, rationality, [and] masculinity as it ideals. India's great tradition insisted on nonviolence, renunciation, the inner life, [and] the female as pillars of civilization.”
