We suggest that the bridge between the Indian and Western scientific approaches and
styles can be built by experiencing both presented together. In order for this
togetherness to occur it will necessitate the Indian scientist learning to accommodate
the Western scientist in terms of participating in moving beyond verbal discussion to the
written paper. In order for the Western scientist to understand the Indian scientist, the
Western scientist will need to learn the skills, protocols and patience to discuss. On a
larger scale, the university can initiate processes, develop models and define structures
for integrating the sciences.
