PRINTED IN INDIAThe Renaissance in India
THERE has been recently some
talk of a Renaissance in India. A number of illuminating
essays with that general title and subject have been
given to us by a poet and subtle critic and thinker, Mr.
James H. Cousins, and others have touched suggestively various
sides of the growing movement towards a new life and a new
thought that may well seem to justify the description. This
Renaissance, this new birth in India, if it is a fact, must become a
thing of immense importance both to herself and the world, to
herself because of all that is meant for her in the recovery or the
change of her time-old spirit and national ideals, to the world
because of the possibilities involved in the rearising of a force that
is in many respects unlike any other and its genius very different
from the mentality and spirit that have hitherto governed the
modern idea in mankind, although
not so far away perhaps from
that which is preparing to govern the future. It is rather the
first point of view that I shall put forward at present: for the
question what India means to make
of her own life must precede the
wider question what her new life may mean to the human race.
And it is besides likely to become before long an issue of a
pressing importance.
