Revisiting 'Indic' Culture to Redefine HRD
ABSTRACT
Many scholars consider Hindu religion or Indic Culture as having 'fuzzy' edges. This
Paper goes directly to the Hindu scriptures and attempts to reinterpret the same in
a way that brings out their true meaning ‐‐ as supported by scriptures of other main
religions practised in the Indian sub‐continent. This approach is not yet found in
Indian literature; however, it has great implications for modern Business Managers
because it avoids the 'iron cage' of industrial culture, and mediates the purposive‐
rational style of our business managers.
This short book is an attempt to demonstrate the essential similarity of all major
religions, and it reveals that pride and spiritual reward are intrinsic to Indian
worker's socially assigned 'economic' work. This Indic work ethics, in turn,
persuades the managers to become value‐based role models to their own workers;
moreso, these values are the same for 'secular' and 'spiritual' organisations. Thus,
its findings enable all types of organisations to predict reasonably the contextual
judgment and behaviour of individuals to various internal and external stimuli and,
thereby, it assists in unleashing the Power of Excellence and Ethics in Human
Resource Management.
