ABSTRACT
H i t h e r t o in this book I have dealt chiefly with the gross misrepresentations concerning the state of Indian society that have been widely published in the West. In doing so I have pointed out that in no country in the whole world to-day are reforms of old abuses being so rapidly and thoroughly carried out. I have also given what seems to me an adequate answer to the accusation that abnormal sexual indul gence has been the ruin of India and the cause of all her poverty.
