Although The Iliad and The Mahabharata were written and set in vastly different cultures, they share many similarities such as the themes and values they possess. War is considered honorable and glorious, women are possessions, and all-powerful Gods interact with mankind. The Ramayana and the Mahabharata are the two epics of India.

1. Thesis Introduction This thesis is a translation and study of the text called “Fount of Scripture and Reasoning: Responses to the Questions Posed [by the Treasure revealer Ratna Lingpa] in ‘Exquisite Palace of Vaijayanta’”. This work was composed around 1590 by possibly the greatest polemicists of the Old School tradition, Sokdokpa Lodro Gyaltsen (1552-1624). This work intermingles some of the thorniest questions about the Buddhist doctrine raised by Ratna Lingpa by the middle of the sixteenth century with Sokdokpa’s replies. According to its characteristics, which will be studied in detail throughout the next chapters, the Fount of Scripture and Reasoning can be considered as an archetypical sample of the Tibetan classical genre of “doctrinal questions and answers” (Tib.

The play,An Experiment with Truthhighlights a series of historic episodes in quick succession and the inner struggle in Gandhi’s mind. To depict this struggle the playwrightAsifCurrimbhoy has resorted to the ‘stream of Consciousness technique’ and as Bayapa Reddy mentioned perhaps for the first time in the history of Indian drama in English.An Experiment with Truthis not intended as a criticism but is intended as a fact of life; most of the people do admit the fact that great men have great faults.
