But the nation in general did not benefit by it, and Court patronage had a really demoralizing effect on creative genius. Hence, Hindu and Muhammadan literature and art in mediæval India fell far short of the productions of democratic Greece or England. - [Previous: c17.s8.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c17.s8.2) - [Next: c17.s9.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c17.s9.1) - [Up: c17.s8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c17.s8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c17.s8.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c17.s8.3) · Pramāṇa
