Excerpt from Indian Thought Past and Present India for the past thirty centuries has brooded over the problem of the Universe. She has ceaselessly striven for some satisfactory answer to the question of the How and Whence and Wherefore of it all. Is the solution to be sought in Kantian and Gothic indi vidualism, in which each man is a law unto himself? Or, on the other hand, can it be asserted as a biological fact that the moral law is as real and ex ternal to man as the starry vault. It has no secure seat in any single man or in any single nation. It is the work of the blood and tears of long genera tions of men. It is not in man, inborn or innate, but is enshrined in his traditions, in his customs, in his literature and his religion.1 If this be true, as an ascertained fact of science, then is it any wonder that India should cling to the, heritage of her own past traditions, and seek to retain the birthright won for her by the intellectual labours and ascetic penances of past generations?
