Even in colonial times, there were some very interesting visitors to India:

One very interesting book (eyewitness account) I read was by a Prussian count who travelled to India in the 20’s. Count Keyserling–Travel Diary of a Philosopher–He visited India, China, Japan and America and writes of what he saw in these places…His chapter on India is interesting because it shows India in the 20’s from they point of view of a foreigner…His understanding of couse will be limited by his aristocratic background and cirmumstance but it is very interesting to read nevertheless as a travel diary–if you can get through the two thick volumes!!! His thinking was quite ahead for his time.

I particularly liked his response to those who falsely accused him of being communal:

“I cannot make donkeys think like horses.”

Nice post.

I writhe with anger whenever I see my friends/acquaintances showing an utter disdain and ignorance for history. Whatever the content/mode of history education in India, a vast majority will always develop “a healthy distaste” for history. Changing that requires a complete overhaul of the entire educational system in India (and not just history coursework). Something that is impossible to happen in the present Indian context.

This Larissa lady / gent has no clue about the racial and political implications of the Aryan invasion theory in today’s India, and why the church is the most fundamentalist supporter of this theory.
