Let Indian history be set side by side with Europe history with what there is of the latter century by century and let us see whether India need blush at the comparison.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Europe is merely powerful; India is beautiful.
This century, the 21st century, will be the Indian century - and I really believe that.
More and more do I see that only a successful revolution in India can break England's back forever and free Europe itself. It is not a national question concerning India any longer; it is purely international.
I must admit that i am fascinated by the glories of ancient India. But when will the purveyors of Indian culture realise that not everything about our past was glorious?
There are two things in Indian history - one is the incredible optimism and potential of the place, and the other is the betrayal of that potential - for example, corruption. Those two strands intertwine through the whole of Indian history, and maybe not just Indian history.
If we dispense with some of our self-made boundaries, India can really take its place in the world as an economic power. It hasn't happened because we, sadly, don't look at ourselves as Indians but as Punjabis or Parsis, unlike the Americans. Don't make such boundaries.
India is a curious place that still preserves the past, religions, and its history. No matter how modern India becomes, it is still very much an old country.
People think that because I write about India I must be trying to portray India in a way.
Never had there been such an attempt to make conquest the servant of civilization. About keeping India there is no question. England has a real duty there.
I'm not just saying this, but I love everything about India.
