Excerpt from The Hindu Philosophy of Conduct Being Class-Lectures on the Bhagavadgita, Vol. 1: Revised Reprint The religious neutrality of the British Indian Government is responsible for its system of education in India being markedly secular in character. The necessities of the Indian situation having rightly dictated to the Government its policy of religious neutrality, and the religion of the British people being different from the religions that have for long been followed by the Indian people with true faith and warm earnestness, the organisation of modern Indian education could not but be made to rest as large ly as possible on a secular and rationalistic basis. This rigid limitation imposed upon the scope of the foundation has made the system of education erected thereon not only incomplete but also productive of certain results that are often apt to be unfavourably criticised. To exclude the study of religion as largely as possible from the field of liberal education is really to make it narrow and illiberal by withholding therefrom the operation of the chiefest and the most powerful.
