The Calcutta Review October 1919

1919

[...] The authority of these commentaries as law depended as in other legal systems upon the learning of the writers ; but once accepted they were sources of new law made by the Brahmans themselves even although the Brahmans in making their new laws bewailed the disappearance of the old customs and the arrival of the new. [...] The same authority compares the progressiveness of the Hindu law with the unprogressiveness of the Moslem law. [...] In Bengal he is surpassed by the Baidya Subarnabanik and Agarwal ; in the United Provinces by the Kayastha Agarwal and Sayid ; in Bihar and Orissa by the same communities and the Karan ; and in the Punjab by the Khatri Agarwal and Arora. [...] Risley in reference to Japanese discipline says : To my mind the most striking among the many evidences of the diffusion of the spirit of unity in Japan is to be found in the extraordinary secrecy maintained during the war with Russia.
