Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Love in Hindu Literature
This is exactly what has been done with regard to Hindu culture history. The archaeologist, Vincent Smith, whose researches have unearthed a host of forgotten Frederick the Greats, Napoleons, Machi avellis, statesmen, generals, and other men of action from the Indian past, makes the following remark in concluding his Early Histoey of India: The most important branch of Indian history is the history of her thought. But is not the history of every other country also in the same sense the history of thought? An unbiassed application of the comparative method would yield the result (1) that Indian history is as great a history of enterprises, adventures, exploits and undertakings. Of a practical worldly character as the history of other peoples, and (2) that the history of other peoples is as great a record of speculation, thought, metaphysics, mysticism etc., as that of the Hindus.
