Friends~
 
I am doing a shsort piece on Modernity and the Hindu Mind.
 
Is it right to say that Modernity (as understood as a state of being and not as modernisation) requires  the acceptance of:
 
a break in tradition,
the rise of the individual,
democracy as a social and political norm, 
the strict separation of state and religion
and above all the uncertaintly of knowledge.
 
I would appreciate your thoughts on this.
 
Regards.
