India: What Can It Teach Us

Muller wasn't referring to India of that time. He made abundantly clear that at that time India was under the category of the savage nations. What he was talking about was India, that was the ancestor of all indo-europeans. According to muller, Germans Brits frenchs Italians Greeks has as much to be proud of as Indians of now, of that amazing civilization.
He does believe we all came from that aryan race. Which has now been debunked. Would he have had these same ideas and conclusions if he didn't think we all came from the same civilization? Would he say these same things if he wasn't deriving some sort of pride from this? Would he say the same things if only Indians inherited the legacy of that civilization? I don't think so. Maybe what he said is all true. I haven't read vedas or Upanishads or puranas. Idk Sanskrit. I don't have enough tools to verify it. Very few people in India has that tool. And I don't see anyone objectively verifying it. But he definitely has some bias because it's a source of pride for him. Even if it's not biased, he won't have said these things if he didn't think of them as their ancestors. And the political value of this work is derived from an error.
