Abstract:
born resistance which India makes against
Western innovations. And why should
•She not, seeing that, rightly ^ or wrongly,
the bulk of the ancient peoples of “the
East have never admitted the moral
superiority of Western civilization. Moreover
Mr. Archer’s book was written before,
though published during , the War, an
event, which has, in so many ways, called
that alleged superiority in question. ‘Since
I wrote the above, the last book of the late
sociologist Mr. Benjamin Kidd came to my
hands. After citing with approval Mr. George Peel’s statement (“ The Future of
England ” 169) that in Europe, History and
Homicide are undistinguishable terms, and
slating that the unfolding of the Christian
Religion in the West has been an unparalelled
record of fighting and slaughter, aiming
at worldly triumph, he says that civilization
has not yet arrived, for that 'of tke
West “ is as yet scarcely more than glorified
savagery *’ (120,121).
