ABSTRACT

Hellenic Greece and Imperial Rome had laid foundation of European civilisation and latter Christianity guided it through blind alleys of faith. Science came to the rescue of man kind and scientific temper resulted in reformation. Thus, European society was saved from the tyrrany of religious intolerance,.However ,briefly in Germany, under the Nazis in the fourth decade of twentieth century, mankind was shamed by the progrom against the Jews. That chapter in the history was an aberration. No such reform or renaissance took place in the Islamic world and Islam still continues with the teachings of Quran that was intended to civilize the savage Arab tribes. That holy book is theology, law and politics combined. Because of their orthodoxy, followers of Islam often come into conflict with democratic socieities and institutions. In sharp contrast is Hindu and other Indic religons that are not dogmatic. The canonic part of Hindu Dharma i.e. Smruthi is changeable land have undergone many changes right from Manusmriti to Yajnavalka smriti to the current Constitution of India.
