India: What Can It Teach Us
by
by
It was a difficult read for me due to multiple reasons.
So basically this is collection of speeches by max muller to aspiring IAS and IPS officer who are about to get deputed to India when India was still a colony.
He shares his openion about importance of knowing Sanskrit, reading Veda's and how was people's understanding about god evolved.
He points out very good point for each topic. It ws a difficult read for me probably coz i haven't read any Veda's so wasn't able to relate to it.
One misconception I saw in entire book is his entire understanding is based on Aryan migration theory and based on that he has elaborated lot of things.
Overall if you want to know about ancient India you can give it a try .
Hopefully will read it again once i have read Veda's
