Summary: "Auld Lang Syne: My Indian Friends" by F. Max Müller is a collection of personal recollections and reflections written in the late 19th century. The work explores the author's reminiscences surrounding his relationships with significant Indian figures and scholars, illuminating his deep admiration for Indian culture, philosophy, and literature, despite his never having visited the country. The opening of the text presents Müller’s rationale for writing about his Indian friends instead of his own life, highlighting how friendships have shaped his perspectives. The first chapter describes his early fascination with India, which began in childhood through literature and education. Through recounting personal anecdotes and his intellectual engagements, Müller introduces readers to prominent individuals such as Dvârkanâth Tagore, expressing his hope that his narratives will bridge cultural gaps and foster understanding between India and the West. His insights into the lives and philosophies of these figures set the stage for a broader exploration of India’s rich historical and cultural tapestry in the chapters to follow.
