'The most advanced science of Europe has not yet improved upon the principles of the planning of the garden cities of India based upon the Indian village-plan as a unit.' ‘The Indo-Aryan villages took the layout of the garden-plot as the basis of its organization. But more probably the village scheme was originally the plan of the military camp of the Aryan tribes when they first established themselves in the valley of the Indus.’—(Havel *A Study of Indian Civilization*, pp. 7–8, 18.)
