Excerpt from Modern India
"The experiment must go forward.... We cannot leave it unfinished if we would." It is nearly thirty years since Professor Seeley spoke these words of Empire in his great series of lectures on the "Expansion of England." What was only felt then in an emotional way by a comparatively small band of enthusiasts has to-day come home to at least some millions of our people. In Seeley's day the Imperialist was the dreamer; now he is the practical and clear-seeing man of affairs. The reproach that our politicians, our historians, still think of England, not of Greater Britain, as their country has lost much of its sting since those lectures were read at Cambridge by Seeley. No man of information or imagination really supposes today that England could whistle off the Colonies and "become again, with perfect comfort to herself, the old, solitary island of Queen Elizabeth's time - 'in a great pool a swans nest." That was the strange delusion which arose, as the historian pointed out, not through imagination, but through the want of it.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book gives a comprehensive view of the numerous facets comprising modern India, a subject of enduring interest since the early 20th century when interest in the subject took hold in Britain. The author, a British Member of Parliament who served as a British Resident in India, offers a wide-ranging survey of India from its physical attributes to its cultural and social practices. The author's experience uniquely positions him to discuss India's political evolution from its colonial past to present-day conditions in which political unrest continues alongside rapid modernization and the development of an assertive national identity. Among the complex issues the author engages with are the enduring influence of caste, challenges faced by India's vast and diverse population, and the ethical concerns raised by the British presence in India. This book shines a light on an enigmatic and vibrant country, rich in history, culture and contradiction, and invites readers to reflect on some of the most pressing issues of our time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
