How is Indian civilization different from European civilization?
Answers
’m going to assume we are discussing post IndoEuropean arrival. Now both the Celts and the Mittani found active civilizations when they arrived in their various locations and neither destroyed the originals. It’s why most Europeans are very closely related to the Basques, and the Dravidians sill live in India.
What happened was a merging of ideas. The Mittani/Vedic Indians shared many common beliefs with the Celts but also exact opposites. The Celts were very liberated with their women, the Mittani not so much.
Plus the Dravidians had a rich heritage that merged with the Vedic Indian one. India is a land of rivers, the IE were worshipers of a river goddess. The Celts kept their rivers feminine but the Mittani adopted the gender of the Dravidian river gods. By the way Danu and her kids are villians in India, heroes in Ireland.
Fascinating.
So the sky god worshipers from the steppes made contact with peoples who worshiped earth spirits and the beliefs blinded.
There is a basic difference between the Indian civilization and European civilization.The tendency of Indian civilization is to elevate the moral being where as the western civilization propogates immorality.
