The following quote:

Raimon Panikkar identified 29 ways in which cultural change can be brought about, including growth, development, evolution, involution, renovation, reconception, reform, innovation, revivalism, revolution, mutation, progress, diffusion, osmosis, borrowing, eclecticism, syncretism, modernization, indigenization, and transformation.[45]

is proven by this source:

Panikkar, Raimon (1991). Pathil, Kuncheria, ed. Religious Pluralism: An Indian Christian Perspective. ISPCK. pp. 252–99. ISBN 9788172140052. OCLC 25410539.

Yet, the book of Kuncheria does not contain any text of Panikkar, Raimon.

Furthermore, the scientific value is very doubtable. Neither is the classification helpful for the article nor is it of a good epistemological quality (the different terms are not clearly distinctable but overlapping, ...) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.90.196.58 (talk) 21:01, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
