Modernity coexis its with orthodoxy, as does progressive thought with conservation and even reactionary trends. The broad features the Hindu culture is not fixed or static but is constantly adapting itself tochanged conditions, thus responding favourably to new challenges; tolerance of conflicting beliefs, liberalism and broadmindedness; emphasis on ethicat conduct and spiritualism, control of passion and temper; justice and truth, and disdain of wealth and the pleasures of the sense.
