To the student of a civilisation India - one of the most interesting countries in the world

To the student of a civilisation India - one of the most interesting countries in the world. It always was one of the most fertile and densely populated areas of globe. Within many centuries it as thought, was one of the richest. In a consequence it, again and again, there was a scene of intrusion, a gain, and property capture. But its riches never consisted so in natural treasure as in savings of hardworking and modest people. Since a year 1600 European nations had the direct relation to India, especially England, France, Portugal, and Holland. Within last 140 years, however, England was the dominating power there. Regardless of the fact that can be told concerning an occasion of intervention of England in affairs of India first, it is possible to tell only, that existing influence of England in India is very favourable to the country. Prosperity of India as a whole is comparable now to that from any civilised nation on globe. And people who once, because of a repeated gain and property capture, have lost all sense of honour and self-respect, now, under soft influence of the world, the law, the order, and safety, quickly becoming noble, itself [130] - assured, both initiative, and ambitious to possess all rights and privileges of the modern
Civilisation.
