Cultural heritage Quote by Syama Prasad Mukherjee
“What we deplore is not that the gate of western knowledge was thrown open to Indians, but that such knowledge was imported to India at the sacrifice of our own cultural heritage. What was needed was a proper synthesis between the two systems and not neglect, far less destruction, of the Indian base.”
![“We took advantage of [the Indians'] ignorance and inexperience to incline them the more easily toward treachery, lewdness, avarice, and every sort of inhumanity and cruelty, after the example and pattern of our ways.” quote by Michel de Montaigne](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/811/michel-de-montaigne-142_advantage_we-took-advantage-of-the-indians-ignoran_1462428.jpg)
