Explanation

Indian logic does not separate deduction from induction, but it does study thought materially.

A single anumana blends the universal relation and its application, so no split between induction and deduction is made (Statement 1 fails).

Indian logic examines thought as it grasps real objects, concerned with truth and content.

It does not confine itself to the bare forms of thought alone (Statement 2 holds).

Being material rather than purely formal is the mark of Indian logic.
