Ram Mohan Roy had sonded the theme with his passionate advocacy of social reform;Vivekanand repeated it with a more nationalist timber , when he declared that the highest form of service of the great mother was social service. Other great Indians, chief of whom was Mahatma Gandhi, developed the theme of social service as a religious duty and the development continuous under Gandhi's successors.
Mahatma Gandhi was looked on by many,both Indian and European ,as the epitome of Hindu tradition,but this is a false judgement for he was much inclusion by western ideas Gandhi believed in the fundamentals of his ancient culture, but his passionate love of the underdog and his antipathy to caste the though not unprecedented in ancient India where are third of in the extreme and more to European century liberalism that to anything Indian then to anything Indian. His faith in non violence was, as we have seen by no means typical of Hindusim-his predecessor in revolt the able Maratha Brahman B.G. Tilak,and Gandhi's impatient.Lieutenant Subhash Chandra BOS ware former orthodox in this respect. For Gandhi's pacifism, we must look to the sermon on the Mount and to Tolstoy.His championing of women's right is also the result of Western influence. In his social context, he was always rather an innovator than a conservative. Though some of his collages thought his program of limited social reform to slow, he succeeded in shifting the wall emphasis of Hindu thought word a popular and equalitarian and social order, in place of the hierarchy of class and cast. following of the work of many less will known 19th century reformers, Gandhi and his followers of the Indian National Congress have given new audition and new life to Hindu culture outer century of stagnation. Today there are a few Indian, what ever their creed, who do not look back with pride on the ancient culture, and there are few intelligent Indians who are not willing to sacrifice some of its effect elements so that Indian May develop and progress. Politically and economically, India versus many problems of great difficulty, and no one can for cost her future with any certainty. But it is safe to predict that, what ever the future may be, the Indians of coming generation will not be unconvencing and self conscious copies of Europeans, but will be men rooted in the tradition, and away of the continuity of their culture. Already after only 7 year of independence, the extremes of national self denigration and financial culture chavaniusm hard disappearing. We believe that Hindu civilization is in the act of performing its most spectacular breed of synthesis. In the past it has received, adopted and digested elements of many different culture Indo European, Mesopotamia,Iranian,Greek,Roman,Scythian, Turkish, Persian and Arab. With each new influence it has some word changed.
