科学技术在西方已取得了突飞猛进的发展。亚洲国家虽从中采用了许多,但社会文化方面的变革却还很落后。印度的文化遗产象人类一样古老和具有普遍性。它的精神和物质产品,甚至早在有文字记载的历史之前就已经创造出来,并在不同的文化区域内广为传播。对于形成思想来说,较古老的文化比较年轻的文化有更多的机会。然而对于社会发展来说,文化悠久并不总是有利,一对传统的持久性感情和沉重负担,可能会导致惰性。在当代,作为文化一部分的科学技术是发展最快的。由于科学技术变革超越社会文化变革而造成的文化滞后现象,已被人们清楚地认识到。
Science and technology have achieved rapid growth in the West. Although many Asian countries have adopted them, the social and cultural changes are still far behind. India’s cultural heritage as ancient and universal as humans. Its spiritual and material products have even been created even before written history and are widely disseminated in different cultural regions. Older cultures have more chances to form ideas than younger ones. However, for the social development, a long culture is not always favorable. A pair of traditional persistent feelings and heavy burdens may lead to inertia. In the contemporary era, science and technology as part of culture are the fastest growing. The cultural lag caused by the transformation of science and technology beyond the social and cultural changes has been clearly recognized.
