c4.6

Notwithstanding the rising interest in Indian Art to which I have referred this field of labour is still calling for workers. The subject is one in which the co-operation of both Indian and European students is necessary. As Mr. Gangoly, however, complains, too many of his countrymen still display an indifference to the magnificent achievements of their ancestors. The greater then will be the welcome which will be extended to an original work such as this the execution of which has been prompted by a genuine love and true appreciation of the art of this country and which has been carried out with such knowledge and sympathy.
