Summary "India, Old and New" by Sir Valentine Chirol is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work reflects on the complex relationship between India and British rule, focusing on the evolution of Indian society and governance during significant historical events including the aftermath of the Great War and the rise of Indian nationalism. Chirol discusses the interplay of diverse civilizational influences within India, and critiques the challenges involved in transitioning to self-governance. The opening of the book provides a context for Chirol’s analysis, beginning with a significant event in February 1921, marking the inauguration of new representative institutions in Delhi that symbolize India's gradual progression toward self-rule, or Swaraj. Chirol contrasts the excitement of this occasion with the discontent among many Indians, particularly Muslims, who participated in Gandhi's "Non-cooperation" movement amidst widespread protests. He highlights the historical significance of Delhi, a city that embodies both ancient Hindu and Muslim legacies, and sets the scene for a broader discussion surrounding the collision of these civilizations during India's transition under British administration. The narrative introduces key themes exploring civil rights, cultural identity, and the future of India's governance amidst ongoing socio-political unrest.
