Modern Review June 1937

1937

Looking backward the stagnancy of the Asiatic peoples is largely due to the lack of the tpirit of adventure which means self-contenteness in being immersed in the sense of continuity. [...] In the words of the President of the Basque Government addressed to the civilised world : Will it stand by and permit the extermination of a people? [...] The workings of the super-natural forces which they cannot account for and understand form the staple of their songs and also the powers of the Meladi Meta an inauspicious goddess. [...] Bhats and Charans are bards of the Rajput Ravalyas of the Kathi princes and Ahirs of shepherd tribes and the Turees of the low castes like Dheds. [...] Wqman's wiles form a branch of this kind of folktale and it must he said to the credit of these reeiters that one finds very little indecency or even vulgarity in the way in which they present these " wiles." Men and mimeo are made to talk in the genteel way but all the same nothing is sacrifieed to the reality of the situation.
