My aim in this work is to reveal how not only is outer India a home of beauty and romance but how inner India is even more truly such a home.
Indian Art and Aesthetics have a history extending over thousands of years and it is well-nigh impossible to compress them into a tiny volume but I have assayed this difficult and ambitious task. The study of æsthetic values is not a mere bright and decorative but useless and purposeless purple patch on life. It has been well said that "æsthetic pleasure is our joy in the realisation of a universe, harmonious beyond the accidents of forms, united in a rhythm which has an echo in our own inner self." Mr. Bridges says in wise and lovely words: "Poetry being the most intimate expression of man's spirit, is necessary to education; since no man can be a worthy citizen of an earthly state, unless he be first a citizen of the heavenly". I claim that in the Indian renaissance of to-day, educational and industrial and political work is not more important than art and religion.
