The Genius Of India

PUBLISHER'S NOTE

The text presented here is taken from a series of essays written by Sri Aurobindo in 1918 and published in the Arya, an English monthly, under the title The Renaissance in India. Our aim in publishing this short extract is to trigger a reflection on what constitutes the specific genius of this country and what it is that Sri Aurobindo meant by a rebirth or a resurgence of India.
