Identity, Culture and Politics, Vol. 19 No. 1-2 (2018): Identity, Culture and Politics: An Afro - Asian dialogue

Abstract

In this current study, I will develop three different values for 7 Prakrti. The status of the Prakrti will
be valued by ‘0’ for ‘stable’ and ‘-1’ is ‘decline’ and ‘1’ is ‘advancement’ position respectively. Then I
will determine the other positions of Upaya and Sadgunya by evaluating those values from Prakrti.
