ABSTRACT
The Hindus first came in contact with a nation as civilised as themselves in the fourth and third centuries B.c., and a great deal has been written as to the indebtedness of the Hindus to the Greeks in the cultivation of their arts and sciences. As usual, some writers on the subject have rushed to hasty conclusions, and it has been asserted that in architecture and sculpture, and even in the art of writing and in their alphabet, the Hindus received their first lessons from the Greeks.
