Book excerpt: Excerpt from India and the English The great bar, hitherto, to the furtherance of that better understanding between East and West whose consummation would be of such incalculable value to England and India alike, has been the apathy and indifference most people - even intelligent people - feel towards that strange and surpassingly wonderful Eastern coun try whose destiny has been linked - rwith such apparent incongruity - to our own. If I should succeed in arousing in only one or two readers the desire to know something more of India, to study one aspect or another of her life, to seek friendship with her people I shall feel that my purpose has not been altogether unaccomplished.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of the Indian Peoples How Hinduism, while sufficing to organize the Indian communities into a social and religious confederacy, failed to knit them together into a coherent nation. Bengal was destined, by her position, to receive the human overflow from the ancient breeding-grounds of Central Asia. Waves of conquest from the north were as inevitable in early times, as are the tidal waves from the ocean at the present day. But such conquests, although rapid, were never enduring; and although wide-spread, were never complete. The religious and social organization of Hinduism never succumbed. The greatest of India's conquerors, the Mughals, were being crushed by Hindu confederacies before their supremacy had lasted 130 years. So far as can now be estimated, the advance of the British power alone saved the Delhi Empire from dismemberment by the Hindu Marhattas, Rajputs, and Sikhs. The British Rule has endured, because it is wielded in the joint interest of all the Indian races. But while these thoughts have long been present in my mind, I have tried not to obtrude them on my pages. For I hope that this little book will reach the hands of many young people who look on history merely as a record of facts, and not as a compendium of philosophy. The greatest service which an Indian historian can render at present to India, is to state the actual facts in such a way that they will be read. If my story is found to combine truth with simplicity, it will have attained all that I aimed at. If it teaches young Englishmen and young natives of India to think more kindly of each other, I shall esteem myself richly rewarded.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Indian Empire: Its People, History, and Products Continuous condensation, although convenient to the reader, has its perils for the author. Many Indian topics are still Open questions, with regard to which divergences of opinion may fairly exist. In some cases, I have been compelled by brevity to state my conclu sions without setting forth the evidence on which they rest, and without any attempt to combat alternative views. In other matters, I have had to content myself with conveying a correct general impression, while omitting the modifying details. For I here endeavour to present an account, which shall be at once original and com plete, of a continent inhabited by many more races and nations than Europe, in every stage of human develop ment, from the polyandric tribes and hunting hamlets of the hill jungles, to the most complex commercial communities in the world. When I have had to expose old fables, or to substitute truth for long accepted errors, I clearly show my grounds for doing so. Thus, in setting aside the legend of Mahmud the idol-breaker, I trace back the growth of the myth through the Persian Historians, to the contemporary narrative of Al Biruni (970 - 1029 The calumnies against Jagannath are corrected by the testimony of three centuries, from I 580, when Abul Fazl wrote, down to the police reports of 1870. Macaulay's somewhat fanciful story of Plassey has been told afresh in the words of Clive's own despatch. The history of Christi anity in India is written, for the first time, from original sources and local inquiry.

Book excerpt: For all of India’s myths, stories and moral epics, Indian history remains a curiously unpeopled place. In Incarnations, Sunil Khilnani fills that space, recapturing the human dimension of how the world’s largest democracy came to be. His trenchant portraits of emperors, warriors, philosophers, film stars and corporate titans—some famous, some unjustly forgotten—bring feeling, wry humour and uncommon insight to dilemmas that extend from ancient times to our own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from India, Ancient and Modern They also contain frequent reference to the political state of the country, and various other matters which excite a desire for further knowledge, but they nowhere supply it, nor give information where it may be found. A work on India suited to the people of the United States, appeared to be a desideratum, and in endeavoring to supply this want, the writer has aimed to include as much information concerning India, ancient and modern, as people generally would wish to read, and to which they could refer as often as they might have occasion. Newspapers and other journals often contain religious and political intelligence concerning India, which their readers can but imperfectly appreciate for want of more knowledge of the country and its inhabitants. And if this is so in respect to allusions, sketches, and extracts in American Journals, it is yet more so in respect to allusions, extracts, etc., contained in the English Reviews and Journals, as such articles were originally written for readers who have much more knowledge of India than the people of the United States generally have. In no country have the inhabitants retained their religion, their superstitions, and their social and local usages for so long time, and with so little change, as in India. The religion of the ancient Egyptians, the Assyrians, the Persians, the Greeks, and the Romans, had great influence in forming the character of those nations. But they have all passed away, and their character and religion can now only be known from their history, and from those monuments and ruins of which the present generation in those countries, know neither the origin nor the meaning. But in India, the religious system which existed in the time of the Pharaohs, of Nebuchadnezzar, of Cyrus, of Solon, and of Romulus, still continues, and its influence is seen in the present state and character of the inhabitants.
