Book Description

About the Book "Hindu Superiority: An Attempt to Determine the Position of the Hindu Race in the Scale of Nations" authored by Har Bilas Sarda in 1906, delves into assessing the Hindu race's standing within global civilization, scrutinizing its perceived superiority or inferiority to other races. Author contends that the Hindu race's unique cultural, social, and religious practices place them above other races, supported by examples of Hindu achievements in fields like science, philosophy, and literature. Despite recognizing societal challenges such as the caste system and educational disparities, the author suggests remedies like social reform and education promotion. This controversial work mirrors the zeitgeist of early 20th-century India, shedding light on prevalent social and cultural attitudes.

About the Author Har Bilas Sarda (1867-1955), an Indian academic, judge, and politician, is renowned for introducing the Child Marriage Restraint Act (1929). As a legislator, he championed various bills and served in the Central Legislative Assembly. Sarda was also deeply involved in social and religious organizations like the Arya Samaj. His contributions extended to education, municipal administration, and historical research, earning him honors like the Dewan Bahadur title in 1931 for his legislative work.

Preface This book has grown out of a pamphlet written years ago and put aside at the time. The object of the book is, by presenting a bird's eye view of the achievements of the ancient Hindus, to invite the attention of thoughtful people to the lending features of the civilization which enabled the inhabitants of this country to contribute so much to the material and moral well-being of mankind. And if this attempt succeeds in any way in stimulating interest in the study of the leading institutions of Hinduism and a proper appreciation of their merits, I shall be amply repaid for my labour. I must take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude to Mr. J. Inglis, Superintendent, Scottish Mission Industries, Ajmer, for his valuable assistance in seeing the book through the Press.

Introduction IN the history of the world, India occupies the foremost place. From the dawn of history to the present day India has been connected in one way or another with almost every event of world importance By endowing India with the best and the choicest of gifts it had in store, Nature herself ordained that this magnificent country, with a climate varied and salubrious, a soil the most fertile in the world, animal and plant life the most abundant, useful and diversified to be found anywhere on the face of the earth, should play the leading part in the history of mankind. Mr. Murray says: "It (India) has always appeared to the imagination of the Western World adorned with whatever is most splendid and gorgeous; glittering, as it were, with gold and gems, and redolent of fragrant and delicious odours. Though there be in these magnificent conceptions something romantic and illusory, still India forins unquestionably one of the most remarkable regions that exist on the surface of the globe. The varied grandeur of its scenery and the rich productions of its soil aro scarcely equalled in any other country." The historian Abdullah Wassaf, writing in the 14th century A.D. says of India in his history, Tasjiyat ul Amsar: "India, according to the concurrent opinion of all writers, is the most agreeable abode on the earth and the most pleasant quarter of the world. Its dust is purer than air and its air purer than purity itself: Its delightful plains resemble the garden of paradise. If it is asserted that Paradise is in India, do not surprised, Because Paradise itself is not comparable to it" "India is an epitome of the whole world," and possesses all the leading features of other lands-the most bewitching scenery, the most fertile soil, the most dense forests, the highest mountains, some of the biggest rivers, and intensely cold seasons may be found along with arid, treeless deserts, sandy waterless plains, and the hottest days. To a student of humanity or of Nature, India even now is most picturesque, and is the most interesting country in the world. Count Bjornstjerna says: "But every-thing is peculiar, grand and romantic in India-from the steel-clad knight of Rajasthan to the devoted Brahman in the temples of Benares; from the fierce Maliratta on his fleet and active steed to the Nabob moving gently on his elephant; from the Amazon who chases the tiger in the jungle to the Bayadere who offers in volupte to her gods. Nature, too, in this glorious country is chequered with variety and clad in glowing colours: see the luxuriance of her tropical vegetation and the hurricane of her monsoon; see the majesty of her snow-covered Himalayas and the dryness of her desert; see the immense plains of Hindustan and the scenery of her lofty mountains; but, above all, see the immense age of her history and the poetry of her recollections."" Professor Max Muller says: "In the study of the history of the human mind, in the study of ourselves, of our true selves, India occupies a place second to no other country.
