The Calcutta Review An Illustrated Monthly (Third Series) February 1946

1946

[...] That link runs through the history of all countries the more so that of India because the history of India is the history of the world's pioneer in thought and action the only mentor of its pure ethical ideals which the present century has yet failed to grasp. [...] The Vedic Age mirjai the Infancy of the Aryans in India which aecordingto the comet tradition_t.i1tett sparsely inhabited by dark-skinned races of whom the Gonda the Bhlli the Bantals are still to be found inhabiting the hills and forests of India. [...] The tortuous narrow dirty lanes of Benares add to the confusion of thought of the holy city and remind one of the contempt for death and disease that tradition can engender in man who receives the divine message of the futility of life with Spartan indifference and disregard of the elementary conception of life. [...] The experience of the depression years showed that the efforts of one country to throw upon the exchange rate the burden of adjustment encourage other countries to do the same thing thus diminishing the advantages of the former.
