"The vernacular literatures of India will be gra-
dually enriched by translations of European books or
by the original compositions of men whose mines have
been imbued with the spirit of European advancement,
so that European knowledge may gradually be placed
in this manner within the reach of all classes of the
people,' I feel convinced that the cultural position of
India in every realm of human intellectual activity
would not have been as low as it is to-day.
"My observation, limited though it is, of the
intellectual life of the Japanese nation as a whole,
and the study of her past history, have created in
my mind the hope-giving belief that we Indians, as
far as intellectual attainments are concerned, are
certainly superior to them; what we, however, do
lack are facilities for the proper development and
training of what may be called our national genius.
But I also feel that so long as modern thought and
modern science on which alone can be based, with
any certainty, the material progress of a nation, are
allowed to remain, as they are to-day in India, locked
up in a foreign language, progressive ideas can never
spread with that speed which the present economic
position with the other nations of the world demand."
