Chinese Religion Though Hindu Eyes: A Study in the Tendencies of Asiatic Mentality

Chinese Religion Through Hindu Eyes A Study in the Tendencies of Asiatic Mentality by Benoy Kumar Sarkar is a comparative study exploring the philosophical and religious parallels between Chinese and Indian civilizations. Sarkar analyzes Chinese religion—particularly Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism—from a Hindu perspective, highlighting shared values like harmony, cosmic order, ancestor reverence, and ethical living. He critiques Western interpretations of Asian thought and emphasizes the spiritual and cultural unity of the East. The work advocates for an Asiatic worldview rooted in intuition, metaphysics, and moral discipline, offering a unique lens on how Hindu intellectual traditions perceive Chinese religiosity.
