摘要
The first part of the book contains the development of Hindu religious thinking. It covers the usual development from the Vedas and the Upanishads to Shankara of the absolutism of the Vedanta, with change as illusion; and the early Buddhism with its assertion that all is change，and there are no permanent substances or persons. Other topics include the cultural influences of the Jains, and the "Four Aspects" of Hinduism，especially the "Bhagavad-Gita"，with a summary of Hindu philosophy，and especially the Sankhya philosophy. The section from page 367 follows the growth of Islam in India, with stress on the philosophical influence of Al-Ghazali，with brief treatment of the Kikhs. Then follows the contacts with the West，Rammohun Roy，Tagore，the great importance of Gandhi，and a study of Pakistan.
