Swami Vivekananda
The East and the West (Prachya o Paschatya)
Written work
The East and the West (Prachya o Paschatya)
Prachya o Paschatya

An often humorous comparison of Indian and Western civilisations: religion, dress, food, hygiene, ideals of life. It criticises slavish imitation of the West as much as Indian inertia, and argues that each civilisation has its own ideal—spiritual freedom in India, action and organisation in Europe—which the other needs.
