Abstract
Based on a historical survey of the origins and development of the Hindu religion and its absorption of Buddhism the author outlines that tolerance, gentle behaviour, profound optimism and a lack of obsession with time are the main features of Indian mentality and behaviour. But with industrial revolution, urbanisation and population explosion many old values have been eroded and even aggression of different degrees found its way into the Indian psyche.
