The invasions of the medieval Saracens or Arabs in Southern and South-western Europe are equal historical facts about foreigners "organizing" states in Europe. Then there are the Ottoman Turks whose exploits in South-Eastern Europe ushered in modern history. The neighbourhoods of Vienna and Venice in the heart of Europe furnished on several occasions the boundary posts, as it were, of Western Asia in those days. Once these data of "foreign invaders organizing states" in medieval and modern Europe¹² are assimilated for a system of social and cultural dynamics the question of sensatism *vis-à-vis* ideationalism in India would acquire a fresh valuation in the light of comparative sensatism or comparative ideationalism.
