If there have been denigrators of Indian culture like Abbe Dubois, Macaulay and William Archer, there have been stout apologists too like Sir William Jones, Max Muller and Sir John Woodroffe: negative and positive responses seem to cancel one another out; but this does not absolve Indians from the duty to gauge their heritage aright... Kingsley casually assails the convert Newman's integrity, and the latter in self-defence writes a classic spiritual autobiography, Apologia pro Vita Sua, wrung from the depths; or an egregious critic, William Archer, throws random brickbats at a great country's culture, and the Yogin-Seer Sri Aurobindo turns what begins as a punishment into a richly rewarding and many-faceted study of the glory that is... at so much length, first with a view to dispelling the clouds of present misunderstanding and then turning the light of right understanding on India's unique cultural heritage.
