About The Book: The book criticizes certain perspectives on Indian history and culture, particularly those of critics like Sen and Rabindranath Tagore. It argues for a more balanced and sober interpretation of Hindu life and movements, rejecting over-romanticized notions of spirituality and other-worldly themes. The book emphasizes that much of Indian literature and art, even when religious or mythological in nature, are rooted in human passions, ideals, interests, and conflicts. It suggests that folk-life and sex-life are central motifs in Indian thought, and mediaeval writings should be approached with the methodology of art-criticism. The book aims to shed light on the true essence of Indian culture and challenge misinterpretations influenced by romanticism and idealism.
