India, encircled as she is by seas and mountains, is indisputably a geographical unit, and, as such, is rightly designated by one name. Her type of civilization, too, has many features which differentiate it from that of all other regions of the world, while they are common to the whole country, or rather sub-continent, in a degree sufficient to justify its treatment as a unit in the history of the social, religious, and intellectual development of mankind.¹ - [Previous: c7.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c7.17) - [Next: c7.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c7.19) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c7.18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.smith-1924.c7.18) · Pramāṇa
