After all, a lot is written about India, her culture, her past, her society, the psychology and sociology of individuals and groups. Why is that not enough? It is because what we have learnt so far is either false or fragmentary. If Indian culture is not a slightly inferior, slightly idiosyncratic variant of Western culture, as the received view has it for a very long time, what else is it? Research into culture and cultural differences gives novel and surprising answers. Written for an intelligent but lay public, this book shares the results of 40 years of scientific investigations in the research programme Comparative Science of Cultures. It transcends the political distinction between 'the right' and 'the left' by looking deeper into ideas on human beings, society, culture, experience, the past, impact of colonialism etc. Today, the question 'What does it mean to be 'Indian'?' is both important and difficult to answer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIs there something 'Indian' about this culture that goes beyond the differences between Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs or Jains?
