The difference between the Hindu and the Eur-American, or between the East and the West, is a real difference to-day. But it is not a difference in mentality or "ideals" or so-called race-genius. It is a difference of one century, the "wonderful century," in a more comprehensive sense than Wallace gives to it. - [Previous: c6.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarkar-1918.c6.25) - [Next: c7.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarkar-1918.c7.2) - [Up: c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarkar-1918.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarkar-1918.c6.26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.sarkar-1918.c6.26) · Pramāṇa
