v6.c41.s25.278
The object here is not to recount the blessings following from the 'advent of the English,' nor to make a contrast between different conquerors of India in their destructive and constructive efforts or in matters of modification, preservation, and reconstruction. The critic will be justified in accusing the English people, or the British Government in India, that they have not done all that they could do for us. But it will be untrue and incorrect to say that the ‘advent of the English’ has destroyed ‘the Indian domestic and religious architecture.’
