Excerpt from Our Indian Empire: Its Rise and Growth A later deposit, but still anterior to the coming of the Brahmins, is probably represented by the five vernacular languages of South India known as the Dravidian tongues. Thus, strictly Speaking, the Brahmin language, caste and faith are as foreign to India as Mohammedan and British institutions. But the coming of the Brahmins dates so far back, and they have so thoroughly stamped their character on everything Indian, that they are to all intents and purposes the Hindu people. They may be con sidered the Normans of the East. When and in what circum stances they came to India, it would be useless to attemptto con jecture. Indeed, the entire history of India before the arrival of the Mohammedans is a blank. Of India, during the time when the Hindus were masters in their own house, there are no his torical records. The Hindus have no prose history. They have names which can be compared with Homer, Euripides, and Virgil, but none that can be compared with Herodotus, Thucydides, Livy, and Tacitus. Ask a Hindu for the history of his country, and he puts into your hands epic and mythological poems like the Rama yana, maha-bharata, and Puranas, infinitely more extravagant and less credible than the Eneid and Paradise Last. Great kin g doms grew up, a highly artificial language and civilization reached their climax, systems of philosophy and religion ran their course, wars were carried on, generation after generation of living men and women joyed and sorrowed; and of all this the only record is in books in which it is impossible to dis tinguish between fact and fiction. The temples in which the people worshipped, the laws they made, the poems they sang, the Works in which they embodied their thoughts on God and man and nature, on art and science, remain to us, but all other trace of their lives has passed away for ever. When India first comes into the daylight of history, it is as a conquered country. For example, in the sixth century b.c. Buddhism arose as a protest against idolatry and caste, and, according to tradition, became the established religion of India; but subsequently it declined or was exterminated from the entire continent. Of the details of this wonderful revolution we know nothing. Asoka, Vikramaditya, and Salivahana are probably historical names.
