Ancient Indian Colonies in the Far East (Vol. I: Champa; Vol. II: Suvarnadvipa) v2.c22.78

1. “This great work on Ancient Indian History and Civilisation presents a vivid picture both of the political and cultural history of India. As a native of India the author takes a thoroughly sympathetic view of the achievements of his countrymen in art and science, and objects to the stand-point of racial superiority of European writers on India. The chapters on religion and literature, art and architecture, education and society, trade and commerce are particularly interesting. The index is very copious and so are the bibliographical and geographical appendixes. The style is easy and fluent.”
