c15.s1.34

Acquaintance with the factual Hindu institutions of public or private law would lead to the thoroughly opposite point of view. Theocracy as a category is very well-known in social science, and the first proposition that one should be warranted to make about Hindu states is that as a rule they are the farthest removed from theocracy. As for the alleged "foreign invaders" "mostly" organizing Hindu states, the statistician of diplomatic, military and political history would be at his wit's end if he were called upon to explain, not to speak of corroborating his proposition.
