The Discovery of India
"One of our major misfortunes is that we have lost so much of the world's ancient literature in Greece, in India and elsewhere..... Probably an organised search for old manuscripts in the libraries of religious institution, monasteries and private persons would yield rich results. That, and the critical examination of these manuscripts and, where considered desirable, their publication and translation are among the many things we have to do in india when we succeed in breaking through our shackles and can fuction for ourselves. Such a study is bound to throw light on many phases of Indian history and especially on the social background behind historic events and changing ideas."
