In studying Indian history, people often fail to find out the real soul of India, and as a result, their labour bears very little fruit. In the following pages, the author, whose love for his motherland was very deep and whose life stood like a mighty colossus pointing with one hand to the past and with another to the future of India, gives in a nutshell the undercurrent of Indian history, politics, and sociology.
The disciple must have great power of endurance. Bear all evil and misery without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance, and that you must acquire.
-Swami Vivekananda
