Thus there appears to be no similarity between Persia and India in civil, military, or religious architecture. In the light of all the aforesaid facts, the theory of Persian influence upon Indian architecture does no longer seem tenable. There is certainly a sort of similarity between a certain type of capital in India and Persia, that is all. But the Indian pillar as a whole, we have shown elsewhere elaborately,³ shows affinity with the Greco-Roman order, and certain school of Indian sculpture bars the stamp of Grecian type.
