DFollowing Nyaya philosophy with a deductive and inductive process

Correct answer: (A) 'Direct perception of truth' both as means and as end

Explanation

Traditional Indian education aims at the direct perception of truth, using it also as its method.

Truth is not merely told but to be perceived and realised by the learner.

The same direct insight serves both as the path of study and as its goal.

This unity of means and end distinguishes the classical approach.

Self-realisation of truth thus defines the tradition's ideal.
