“…but is only an aspect of truth that has to be fulfilled at the end'. 66 Ironically, Radhakrishnan replicates the nineteenth century evolutionary model applied to religious diversity by Max Mueller, J. N. Farquhar and others. 67 If they see Jesus Christ as the final goal, the 'crown' and fulfilment of all religions, Radhakrishnan sees advaitic ultimate as the final destination of all religious quests: 'The diversity in the traditional formulations tends to diminish as we climb up the scale of spiritual perfection.…”

This essay focuses on two eminent thinkers whose perspectives on religious pluralism have attracted much attention: Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (1888–1975), a prominent Indian philosopher, statesman and cultural ambassador to the West, interpreting Indian philosophy and religion to a Western audience, and John Hick (1922–2012), a world renowned British theologian and philosopher of religion, known for his contentious views on Christian beliefs and philosophy of religious pluralism. The paper draws attention to some significant convergences and divergences in their thinking on religious pluralism, which can be seen in how they conceptualise the relation between the One and the Many in their writings.

“…Another important thinker in the renascent Hinduism, who had a philosophical focus, is S. Radhakrishnan (1888Radhakrishnan ( -1975, a comparative religionist who worked both in India and in the West toward the dialogue of religions. 81 For Radhakrishnan, the different religious men of the East and the West are to share their visions and insights, hopes and fears, plans and purposes. Unhappily, just in the political region, so here also this is more an aspiration than an actuality.…”

Revisiting the Antecedents of Interreligious Dialogue

This article looks critically at the trend to connect contemporary interreligious dialogue with certain events and developments that took place in Europe and India during the 19th and early 20th centuries: (i) the comparative study of religion, (ii) the 1893 World Parliament of Religions in Chicago, (iii) three World Missionary Conferences in the first half of the 20th century, (iv) renascent Hinduism in India, and (v) Indian Christian efforts for inculturation. These events/developments are often perceived as the formative factors of dialogue. But this essay argues that they had their own complexities, agendas, and targets and rarely had interreligious dialogue as their objective or focus. Uncritical reading of the history of interreligious dialogue ignores how colonialism and imperialism have shaped these "antecedents."

“…Being the ancient and majority religion, Hinduism exerts a significant influence in the lives of Indians, and is regarded as a way of life rather than a precise religion (Dhruvarajan, 1993). The root of the collective orientation of Indian society could be traced to Hindu philosophy that defines man as a composition of his immediate family as well as the society to which he belongs (Radhakrishnan, 1922).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to analyse the cross-cultural reasons underlying the extreme industrial unrest experienced during the first seven years of Toyota's operations in India. Design/methodology/approach -The paper employs a case study approach using data obtained from 30 personal interviews, field notes, observations, and internet media sources. Findings -The paper reports how Toyotism shares three common features with Brahminismrenunciation, performance, and perfection -and how antipathy towards the manner in which these features were implemented in India caused significant resistance amongst the production workforce.Research limitations/implications -The paper has implications for academics and practitioners in helping to understand how employee relations, unrest and antagonism towards lean manufacturing practices are closely related to cross-cultural issues prevalent in host countries. Originality/value -The concept of Brahmanism in Indian employee relations is under-researched in comparison with other aspects of Indian culture and antipathy towards the concept as a source of resistance to the implementation of lean systems needs to be better understood.
