Mohammedan India
Andrews, C. F. | July 31, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "The Cambridge History of India," vol. 3, "The Turks and Afghans," edited by Wolseley Haig. That early Mohammedan period of Indian history covered by this third volume, which comprises the years A.D. 1000 to 1500, cannot be described in any way either as great or notable. It is a signal example of what human life becomes when it is based on brute force alone, with hardly any higher appeal. The mind sickens, as page after page is turned over, without a single constructive idea, or anything that might be called a movement of the human spirit toward the highest life.
