The New Review August 1935

1935

The invetion of the steam engine and the evolution of modern banks overthrew the customary methods of small-scale production and in their place introduced unbridled copetition to capture the world market with the result that the economic world came to be dominated by the ideal of profit for the individual. [...] The silence of village shuttle the decay of the potter's wheel and the disappearance of the oil press owing to the importation of foreign cloth enamel ware and kerosene oil have demonstrated the futility of the traditional methods which however excellent in themselves cannot compete with the 'mbdern methods of scientific industry. [...] In addition to the ruin of the cottage industries the overthrow of the joint family and the decline of the caste system the industrial revolution has introduced into India a multiplicity of wants without a corresponding ability to satisfy them. [...] Of these the most important cause is probably the general movement of Indian life from the country to the town which was due to the increase of population and the want of a corresponding increase in the means of subsistence in an essentially agricultural society. [...] were willing to sacrifice the unhealthy atmosphere and the bustle and excitement of town for the pure air and the peace and roominess of the country they would do a great service to the nation and bridge the ocean which now divides the village from the city.
