On 20 October 2022, the author gave a talk at Blankenheim, German Eiffel, during the Spengler Conference 2022, on ‘Relevance of Moral Philosophy of Oswald Spengler to Indian Civilisation and His Remembrance in the Indian Academic Landscape’. This article, based on the above talk, is an outcome of the research carried out by the author into the writings of the famous German historian Oswald Spengler and covers the essence of his thoughts on world history, major civilisations, and his prophecies. The article gives an insight in to his outlook on many aspects of Indian civilisation, including the imperial nature of few Indian dynasties, Buddhism, and Indian philosophy. Various works of Spengler and his historical concepts and prophecies are also be discussed here. An endeavour has been made to present the history of the Indian civilisation, from the perspective of Oswald Spengler, to help the Indian strategic and academic community to have a better understanding of their civilisation.- Reproduced
