O India, this is your terrible danger. The spell of imitating the West is getting such a strong hold upon you that what is good or what is bad is no longer decided by reason, judgment, discrimination, or reference to the Shastras.
Whatever ideas, whatever manners the white men praise or like are good; whatever things they dislike or censure are bad.
Alas! what can be a more tangible proof of foolishness than this?
