Hindu Administrative Institutions c13.2

c13.2

In the foregoing pages of this little volume an endeavour has been made to give a brief survey of a polity, almost modern in character, having an uninterrupted course of existence for some thousands of years. History records many a polity in different countries of the ancient world. Egypt, Greece, Rome, Babylon, China and other countries have had their own day and contributed not a little to the sum total of the world's culture and progress. Though every nation evolved its own polity, no polity had the inherent vitality that Hindu polity possessed, and this feature enabled the latter to continue to live unhampered by ravages of time.
