ABSTRACT
In seeking to represent the atmosphere of modern India, with all its ardent hopes, longings and aspira tions, I have to go forward step by step with an argu ment whose purport will become clear as I go on. I must ask the British reader’s patience, because the whole meaning of the word “ subjection” is foreign to him and he has never experienced its bad results. He little realizes how hard it is to escape from the vicious circle it creates when once this circle has been entered.
