The Positive Background of Hindu Sociology c3.162

c3.162

In *Sociology and Social Research* (Los Angeles, U. S. A.) it is observed that "the principal contribution here is in the nature of a critique upon some of the popular eugenic proposals for race-betterment and upon neo-Malthusianism. There is also an answer made upon philosophical grounds to the Spenglerian idea of the decline of western civilization. Sarkar promotes the idea that new groups emerging from older ones arise to invigorate the march of progress. This is, of course, consistent with the Indian philosophy of evolution as expressed in the Vedantic literature."
