India, one of the oldest civilizations of human race, is well known all over the
world for its distinct ancient culture and civilization focusing on humanism through its
philosophy of integral humanism and : . The perspective is well defined
and reflected in Sanskrit literature which developed over last ten thousand years or so
starting from Vedic Sahit to classical Sanskrit Literature.
