Answer 1

Indian views consider nature as a mother and that she cannot be tamed

Indian views about nature

• According to Indian views, nature is like a mother which should be respected and not tamed.

• They believe that nature has its own way of reacting. Therefore, natural processes should not be altered and interfered.

• Humans are a part of this huge phenomenon. So, they should take care of it instead of being hostile.

Answer 2

Answer:

(2) The Indian view considers nature as a mother and that she cannot be tamed.

Explanation:

There are three basic perspectives on nature:

1. The Western (North American and European)
2. The Sineatic (Korean, Japanese and Korean)
3. The Indian (which includes Buddhist, Jain, and Hindu philosophies)

• In the past, the western worldview held that nature was hostile and alien to humans and that it needed to be conquered and subsumed under human rule.
• While Nature, according to the Sineatic view, is beautiful and flawless, it must be altered in order to be appreciated. Nature inspires awe with its beauty. Man is a part of nature, not a hostile force; in the Sineatic view, man has a place in nature.
• Finally, the Indian spiritual tradition combines Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism's views on nature. Nature is a mother in this scenario. Her children will never be able to control her. She is a Goddess in every sense of the word.
