India Impressions and suggestions

In this book delves into India’s current significance while acknowledging the author’s lack of authority on the subject. However, it shares valuable insights gained from two months of extensive travel and interviews with diverse individuals. Among the contentious topics explored is whether British rule has positively or negatively impacted the Indian populace, particularly the peasants. The book examines how British rule brought about significant changes in traditional practices, resulting in both progress and detrimental consequences. The author also addresses the misconception surrounding “famine in India” and the prevalent discontent within the country. The need for political reforms and the challenges posed by race, caste, and creed differences are discussed, with a particular emphasis on the increasing influence of Muslims in the northern regions.
