And, they accused such humanity which had no parallel in documented history of mankind
Max Muller: It is extremely strange that whenever, either in Greek, or in Chinese, or in
Persian, or in Arab writings, we meet any attempts at describing the distinguishing features
in the national character of the Indians (*Hindus), regard for truth and justice should
always be mentioned first.

So I could go on quoting from book after book, and again and again we should see how it
was the love of truth that struck all the people who came in contact with India, as the
prominent feature in the national character of its inhabitants. No one ever accused them
of falsehood.

I have left to the last of the witness who might otherwise have been suspected – I mean
the Hindus themselves. The whole of their literature from one end to the other is pervaded
by expressions of love and reverence for truth.

I doubt whether in any other of the ancient literatures of the world you will find traces
of that extreme sensitiveness of conscience which despairs of our ever speaking the truth.
