What is Inge's attitude towards sadhu sunder singh? How can u tell
Answers
Inge’s attitude towards Sadhu Sundar Singh was of respect and awe for the humble yet happy life he led in spite of all the woes in life.
EXPLANATION:
William Ralph Inge was an English clergyman and a great scholar and writer. In his essay ‘Happy People’ he discusses the true meaning of happiness and the very few people on earth who can be described as happy.
He cites the example of Sadhu Sundar Singh, a Punjabi Sikh by birth but converted to Christianity to spread the word of Christ. Inge requests his readers to read the book, 'The Sadhu', on the life of Sundar Singh to learn his philosophy of happiness.
According to Inges, Sundar Singh’s simplicity and humbleness helped him to be happy and contented. Sundar Singh had to face a lot of humiliation and torture in the hands of his fellow brethren as well as the white Christians. He received many life threats.
Yet his devotion to Christ and his innocent attitude towards life never depressed him. His woes turned to happiness as he took life as it came and never complained against him. Thus Inges’ attitude towards him was that of respect and awe.
