Ancient Indian tradition and ancient Chinese culture are based on moral and spiritual values. Both countries have ancient histories that appreciate the role of man in the upliftment of the self. Both countries have synthesized tradition and modernity. Against a background of ancient culture and wisdom, one can understand social progress and justice. A treasure of wisdom is deeply embedded in Indian and Chinese culture that must be taken into account when it comes to developing the values required to make economic progress more beneficial to the public. As this chapter explores by cultivating a dialogue with Confucius and Thiruvallavur.
