Indian Classical Tradition
Classical characteristics of India can be found in the village rather than in the polis as in Greece, provincial rule in Persia or empire as in Rome.
The caste is the social fabric of India fundamental to Hinduism.
In the contest between trade that nourished Buddhism and agriculture of Hinduism, farming won. Buddhism found a home elsewhere.
