The Positive Background of Hindu Sociology c3.61

c3.61

1. Humanity is fundamentally one,—in psychology, logic, ethics, aesthetics and metaphysics,—(i) in spite of physical and physiognomic varieties, and (ii) in spite of age-long historic prejudices.
2. There are no race-types or race-geniuses,—no Oriental or Occidental ideals of existence,—no national characteristics (e.g. Hindu, Saracen, Chinese, German, English, Greek, Egyptian etc.)—(i) in spite of local, geographical and linguistic modifications, and (ii) inspite of the so-called 'social minds' or group-units brought about by the conditions of political homogeneity. Besides, types are in perpetual flux.
