It is true that superficial observers are likely to be bewildered by the astonishing variety of
Indian life. They fail to discover the one in many, the individual, in the aggregate; the simple in the
composite. With them the whole is lost in its parts. What is needed is the superior interpretation,
synthesis of the power of the mind that can give rise to a vision of the whole.
A keen penetrating insight will not fail to recognise the fundamental unity beneath the
manifold variety in India. The diversity itself, far from being a damaging cause of disunity and
weakness, is a fertile source of strength and wealth. Sir Herbert Risely has rightly observed: “Beneath
the manifold diversity of physical and social types, languages, customs and religions which strike the
observer in India, there can still be discerned a certain underlying uniformity of life from the Himalayas
to Cape Comorin.”
From his long and first-hand experience in India, Vincent A. Smith says that the civilisation of India
“has many features which differentiate it from that of the other regions of the world, while they are
common to the whole country in degree sufficient to justify its treatment as a unity in the history of
human, social and intellectual development.”
