I. D.P. Mukerji's views about Traditions.
1. D.P. Mukerji says that tradition performs the act conserving. But it is not essential conservative.
2. D.P. Mukerji asserts that traditions do change. There principles of change are recognized in Indian tradition : (i) Sruti, (ii) Smriti, (iii) Anubhava. It is anubhava or personal experience, which is the revolutionary principle. certain Upanishads are totally based on it.

3. Personal experience of the saint founders of different sects or panths soon blossomed forth into collective experience producing change in the prevailing socio-religious order.

4. The experience of prem or love and sahaj or spontaneity of these saints and their followers was noticeable also in Sufis among the Muslims.

5. The traditional system slowly accommodated the dissenting voices. Indian social action has given latitude to align rebel within the limits of the constitution. The result has been the caste society blunting the class consciousness of the disadvantaged.

6. The power of the Indian tradition lies in its crystallization of values emerging from past happenings in the life-habits and emotions of men and women. Thus, our country has definitely preserved many values (some good and other bad also). The point, however, is that of utilizing the forces which are foreign to Indian traditions, e.g.(i) technology, (ii) democracy, (iii) urbanization, (iv) bureaucratic rule, etc.
