The Mohammadan conquest with its propagandist work and later the Christian missionary movement attempted to shake the stability of Hindu society and in an age deeply conscious of instability, authority naturally became the rock on which alone it seemed that social safety and ethical order could be reared. The Hindu, in face of the clash of cultures fortified himself with conventions and barred all entry to invading ideas. There were no longer any thinkers but only scholars who refused to strike new notes and were content to raise echoes of the old call.
