The Vedic Indian Civilization is not something that can change with time. It is based on the Eternal Laws and Principles. The word eternal is not a religious or a kind of fundamentalism that one can force others to believe or follow. It is based on the scientific study of the natural world in the universe. It starts with creation of the universe and of life in it as well.
We usually avoid the using of excessive proofs in Indian Classical methods of research. The Indian research works are based on human study without the use of machines, tools and equipments. The reason for it is that the Indian works follow it not for science and technology, but rather for the joy of doing so metaphysically. Thus, most of Indians particularly in the rural areas, the villages do not ask for proofs.
They do not follow anything blindly but as metaphysical understanding inclines towards the faith, which is essence of philosophy, they leave the logic and proofs. It helps Indians to accept Will of God or nature, the natural laws and principles that is not same as luck and destiny. The changing of luck, destiny and fortune is by following the natural laws and principles that is called the Daily Karma, the Nitya Karma or Nitnem. This is also known as the Purushartha.
This is what is common in India when people say why one is trying to prove what we trust and respect. It is something pretending. The faith is feelings of reverence that we do not seemingly need to alter with knowledge and logic so that modern science and technology can establish its market, yes the global market.
We always need science and technology to facilitate human life in the natural world, but what about the pollution and side affects it causes does matter a lot.
It seems our rushing too fast is something that is philosophically blind.
The Indian Civilization has always focused on the Kingdom of God as the Rama Rajya as proposed by many including Mahatma Gandhi.
According to Indian Scriptures like the Holy Ramayana, the Vedic Knowledge was spread in the world and the country in the neighborhood of India, Sri Lanka used it to have full knowledge in almost all fields and faculties of human knowledge.
The Ravana, who was a foreigner to India but due to his mastery in the Vedic knowledge he is respected as most knowledgeable scholar of Vedas. Even Lord Rama respected and honored his mastery of Vedas.
His departure from earth did not leave that Vedic Knowledge and Wisdom vanished. It has been proved by many as the truth that only humans can gain. Among them is the Swami Vivekananda.
The point is that the Vedic Knowledge and Wisdom is Philosophically in nature. It has Six Schools of Indian Philosophy, so it does not embrace the world religions and faiths as they are in the context of religions as such.
The Vedic knowledge is called the Darshna, which has as higher level as the religion because it does not deal with the Action or Karma Theories, and is thus Philosophy. We need to consider it in the context.
