Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Among India´s Students To the student, India represents a wealth of philology and a maze of philosophical systems. To the statesman, India is a nerve centre of the world. "The true fulcrum of Asiatic dominion," says Lord Curzon, the Viceroy of India, "seems to me to increasingly lie in the Empire of Hindustan. The independence of Afghanistan, the continued national existence of Persia, the maintenance of Turkish rule in Bagdad are one and all dependent upon Calcutta. Nay, the radiating circle of her influence overlaps the adjoining continent and affects alike the fate of the Bosphorus and the destinies of Egypt." To the statistician, India means one-fifth of the inhabitants of the globe, for the Bombay Presidency has the population of Spain, Holland and Norway; the entire population of Brazil can be accommodated in the Central Provinces; the Madras Presidency and its native states have within them more people than there are in Great Britain and Ireland; the inhabitants of Sindh and the Punjab equal those of Austria; the population of the German Empire can be placed in the Northwest Provinces and Oudh; and Bengal has within it as many people as there are in the United States of America. To the ethnologist, India means thirteen races, from the Aryo-Indic to the Dravidian, speaking ninety languages and dialects and divided into eight religions. But to the Christian, India is the court guarded "by the strong man fully armed." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
