The Positive Background of Hindu Sociology c3.30

c3.30

When the first edition of the first volume was published my father as editor of the *Sacred Books of the Hindus Series* used to say: "One side of India was presented by Max Müller in his writings, *India What Can It teach Us? Chips from a German Workshop* etc., and especially Dr. Brajane *Sacred Books of the East Series*. This was Philoactive, the idealistic and the metaphysical or the mystical side. The other side of Indian culture,—the materialistic, the secular, the worldly, the objective side has been presented by Professor Sarkar. To understand the Hindu mind and Indian civilization scholars will have to devote attention to both the sides."
