This volume, which contains nine of the papers presented and discusses in a National Seminar on 'The Concept and Role of Tolerance in Indian Culture' held at the Radhakrishnan Institute of the University of Madras, analyses and examines six important issues arising from the theme of the Seminar. The assumption that there is tolerance in Indian culture is a basic issue. This apart, other issues such as the connotation and the different uses of the term 'tolerance', the relation between culture and philosophy, the philosophical basis for tolerance in Indian culture, the theory-practice problem connected with tolerance, religious pluralism, and the Hindu-Muslim synthesis in the composite culture of India are discussed and cultural ethos. Some of the factual and normative claims and assertions of these scholars, which are provocative and disputable, deserve careful consideration.
