Indian Literature I suppose includes Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu - but would it include Bengali? What about Pashto, Uzbeki ...?
And would Western Literature be inclusive of Kazakh, Ukrainian? How many scholars would be competent to comment on the absolute worth of Etxahun Barkoxe, or Pascon agan Arluth.
The advantage of meaningless questions is that you can answer them any way you like. But I would need a deal of convincing that even the Ramayana has been as generally valuable and appreciated on the World stage as the plays of Shakespeare.

Indian literature refers to the literary works produced in the Indian subcontinent, encompassing a diverse range of languages, cultures, and genres. Western literature, on the other hand, refers to the literary traditions of Europe and the Americas, rooted in Greco-Roman and Christian traditions but also influenced by global perspectives. Both Indian and Western literature are characterized by their rich cultural heritage, historical context, and thematic exploration of universal human experiences.
Literature from different cultures offers unique perspectives and values that should be appreciated in their own right. Comparing Indian and Western literature involves subjective judgment and personal preference, and both possess significant cultural, historical, and artistic value. Appreciating and understanding the richness of both can enhance one's literary experiences.
