In the intellectual world there were many dissenters to the Vedic culture. Apart from Gautama Buddha (563-483 B.C.), the Jainas, Ājīvikas and the materialists such as the Cārvākas or Lokāyatas protested against the Vedic ritualism and theological fundamentalism. The intense intellectual ferment resulted in speculative philosophy and logic (Seal, 1985).
