The Dance of Siva: Essays on Indian Art and Culture

Ananda K. Coomaraswamy

3.92/5 (139 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

Each race contributes something essential to the world’s civilization in the course of its own self-expression and selfrealization. The character built up in solving its own problems, in the experience of its own misfortunes, is itself a gift which each offers to the world. The essential contribution of India, then, is simply her Indianness; her great humiliation would be to substitute or to have substituted for this own character (svabhava) a cosmopolitan veneer, for then indeed she must come before the world empty-handed.
