Some thoughts from the book, "Letters from a Father to his Daughter" by Jawaharlal Nehru:
1. How we can find that a person or society is barbarous or civilized? Many people in Europe think that they are civilized and the people of Asia are quite barbarous. One of the reason is that they put more clothes than Asians or Africans. But clothes depends on the climate. In a cold climate men put more clothes than in a hot climate.
2. Do you think killing people is a civilized or sensible thing? Off course not. When in my college to students fight, we say how silly they are, who will say that they are professionals. But how much sillier or more foolish it is for great countries to fight with each other. Millions got killed in the first and second world war. It was between the countries who call them self civilized.
3.I agree fine buildings, fine pictures, good books are certainly sign of a good civilization. But a even better and much brighter sign is of a fine man who is unselfish and works with others for good of all. Britishers came to India for there selfish means. They were mean, and lived in our country just to serve there needs. They made the country more poorer.
