An Englishman Defends Mother India

- A Complete Constructive Reply To Mother India

Bag om An Englishman Defends Mother India

""An Englishman Defends Mother India"" is a book by Ernest Wood that presents a comprehensive and constructive response to the book ""Mother India"" by Katherine Mayo. Mayo's book had caused controversy in India due to its negative portrayal of Indian society and culture. Wood, an Englishman who had spent many years in India, felt compelled to defend the country he had come to love. In his book, he refutes Mayo's arguments point by point and presents a more nuanced and positive view of India. He discusses the country's history, religion, philosophy, and social customs, and argues that India has much to offer the world. Wood's book is a passionate defense of India and a call for greater understanding and respect between cultures. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Indian history and culture, as well as for those interested in the history of colonialism and its impact on the colonized.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
