Preface

In Indian Philosophy we find various theories regarding the nature of existence, some philosophers hold that nature of existence will be Universal. This implies that 'existence' is subjective or relative. On the other hand some hold that nature of existence is Particular or Svalakṣaṇa but the main problem is whether 'existence' is a relative concept or not. If any object exists then it means that one object exist in terms of another object. As far as Indian existentialists claim that this is true but the real problem lies into whether conceptual object or universal object exists or not.

In this context. Nyaya Concerned that only universal object exists. This view can be traced out in Gautam's Nyaya Shutras but in Nabya Nyaya logician accept that there is nothing like Universal object. They accept that Individual object is partially true but it is not known without the known of Jati or Samanya. This means that we can not deny the existence of individual object but every individual object is always known in relation to its Class (Jāti). So we can say object must be qualified by its universal or Jati then we are able to take about the nature of existence.
