Difference between Generalization and Inheritance

I have a subject called "Object Oriented Methodologies".
In this, I frequently come across these two terms: Generalization and Inheritance.

But, the difference between the 2 is not clearly mentioned anywhere.

Can anybody solve this query?
Please provide an example for the same.

    If you talk about furit and mango.You can say that fruit is a generalized class of mango.
    Where all the mango properties defined a fruit.
    .
    But if you talk about mosambi and orange it would be an example of inheritance.Where some properties are extended you may extend the whole properties also.
    ya fruit and mango is also an example of inheritance.
    So you can say that every generalization example is an example of inheritance but reverse is not true.
    .
    Correct me if i am wrong..!
