The fact that a great Hindu civilisation existed, and continues to exist, is not in doubt.
It is marked by great antiquity, substantial, even unprecedented, refinements, audacity of thought, and achievements both in the spiritual and secular realms.
This does not mean it is unblemished, and objectivity demands that the blemishes too must be taken into account. Nor does it mean that it evolved in an insular silo or untouched by outside influences.
And yet, this intermingling has not diluted or erased its essential identity as a verifiable civilisation. Unlike many other great civilisations of the past, the Hindu civilisation has not become a historical relic, an antiquary of the past, but has survived as an unbroken continuum to the present.
