The Awakening of Asia

1919

At the end of the seventh century the ancestors of the present Bulgars who formed part of one of the raids settled in the region now occupied by their descendants. [...]. It is the busiest and most full of all traffic and commerce in the whole of India; it has merchants from all parts of the world and of all nations and religions by reason of the liberty and scurity accorded to them there; for the King permits the exercise of every kind of religion. [...] The last successful national upheaval of this kind (before the expulsion of the Manchus and establisment of the Chinese Republic) was the revolt against the Tartar Imperial domination founded by Kublai Khan the conqueror who endeavoured to follow up his victories on the mainland by his ill-fated expedition for the subjugtion of Japan. [...] The China of the past is rapidly fading and the Chinese of the present are taking up the line of their own historic achievments and will play a great possibly the greatest part in the future of humanity. [...] But from the beginning of the eighteenth century onwards the trade steadily increased in spite of the opposition of the Peking Government and of the Chinese themselves.
