Synopsis
Excerpt from Reflections on the Problems of India
You will remember on a certain occasion when Boswell was indulging in one of his heroics, Johnson turned round and said, My dear friend, clear your mind of cant. I believe at the present moment no sounder advice could be given to the Educated Classes in India than in those memorable words of the bluff old Doctor, and my efforts in the following pages are solely or mainly directed towards assisting my Countrymen in clearing their minds of cant.
One thing I wish you to bear in mind is that I do not pretend to solve the Problems of India as most other writers have attempted to do before me; I only venture to give my reflections on them, or rather, the thoughts that have crossed my mind while reading all the wit and wisdom that the leaders of Indian thought have so lavished upon them.

Reflections on the Problems of India (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into India's fundamental challenges, beginning with the author's provocative stance on education. His critique of the widely held belief in education as an unalloyed good is grounded in a thorough investigation of its potential consequences. The author argues that the focus on mass education, while well-intentioned, overlooks the potential drawbacks such as the creation of unrealistic expectations and the devaluation of manual labor. The book also examines India's complex caste system and questions whether industrial development can occur without exacerbating social divisions. Drawing from a diverse range of thinkers, from Carlyle to Nietzsche, the author presents a nuanced perspective on the challenges facing India. He argues that true progress requires a multifaceted approach that addresses both the material and spiritual needs of society. The book's insights challenge conventional wisdom and provoke contemplation, offering a fresh perspective on India's path towards a just and equitable future. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330384992_0
