The Positive Background of Hindu Sociology c9.3

c9.3

For the purposes of the present author's *Political Philosophies Since 1905* (Madras 1928) politics has been taken to comprise five different topics: (1) constitution and law, i.e., public and private law, (2) economic policy, (3) international and inter-racial relations, (4) societal organization and (5) mental and moral philosophy. Our problem consists in discovering in the field of Hindu literature all those texts which bear on one or other of these five different aspects of group life.
