S. Hardikar, grad., of Hubil, India, writes of the early history of India in the first article of a series of two about that country. The German scholar, Max Muller, author of The Religions of the East, once said: "If I were to look over the whole world to find the country most richly endowed withall the wealth, power and beauty that nature can be- stow, I should point to India. If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply ponder- ed on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions for some of them which will deserve the attention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant,-I should point to India." This description may or may not be true of modern India, but it is true of ancient and medieval India and by omitting a few of the words from the above description, it may be applied to India today. It is" impossible for anyone to take up every subject belonging to a coun- try and discuss it thoroughly and sat- isfactorily in limited space. Even so I shall venture to do that with the sole idea that those who are interested will get some information at least. In writing these articles I shall endeavor to give the general Hindu viewpoint along with the opinions of some of the western authorities. I shall be willing to answer any queries that mayI happen to arise, or talk with anyone on matters concerning India and her people. The empires of Egypt, Rome, Greece, Syria, and other countries Iie in dust today. India alone has survived. When the north -of Europe was yet in abso- lute darkness, when the Roman em- pire was not even dreamed of, when the Anglo-Saxon races, the forefathers of Americans, were living in caves, and tatooing their bodies, eating raw flesh and wearing the skins of animals, India had a history. It was then ruled by the Aryans who migrated from the Caucasus, and who defeated the aborigines in exactly the same manner in which the Euro- pean settlers drove the Red Indians farther and farther west and settled down themselves. These Aryans ruled the country peaceably till the fourth century, B. C., when Darius the Great, of Persia, invaded the country near the Indus. The richness of the country attracted the king, who conquered a piece of land near the Indus and established a small kingdom, but this was soon over- thrown by the native kings. Later in the third century, B. C., Alexander the Great invaded India. After his re- turn, however, his army was defeated and no kingdom was allowed to be es- tablished. The Turanians, the White Huns, and the Bactrian Greeks invad- ed India in the Buddist period. Then the peace and independence of the Hindus was not disturbed till the eighth century, when the country was invaded by the Afagans, who were fol- lowed later by the Great Moguls. These invaders ruled for six centuries, the natives suffering, but still retain- ing their native characteristics. In the fifteenth century the wealth of India attracted the atteption of Europeans, Columbus and Vasco De Gama going in search of this land of fabulous riches. Vasco De Gama doubled the Cape of Good Hope and reached India. The Portuguese, the Dutch, the French, and the nglish came to trade with India an finally settled. The English, under the power of the British East Indian company, became masters of the land within a short time. The company's power was trans- ferred to the crown in 1858 when Queen Victoria' became empress of India. India, the land of the Aryans and Hindus, is now ruled by the Eng- lish.
