ABSTRACT
AT the beginning of this book I warned the reader against over-simplified conceptions of India and all that it means. I have said, more than once, that India is in every respect a chaos. The summary nature of this work has compelled us to present the facts, problems, and many factors which make up Indian civilization as being much simpler than they really are. Let us remember, as we come to an end, that what gives form to all this diversity, all this development, is Brahmanic classicism.
