Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tales of Bengal
That east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet, is an axiom with most English men to whom the oriental character seems an insol uble enigma. This form of agnosticism is unworthy of a nation which is responsible for the happiness of Asiatics. It is not justified by history, which teaches us that civilisation is the result of the mutual action of Europe and Asia; and that the advanced races of India are our own kinsfolk.
