"After a study of some forty years and more of the great religions of the world, I find none so PERFECT, none so scientific,
none so philosophical and none so spiritual that the great religion known by the name of Hinduism. Make no mistake, WITHOUT Hinduism, India has no future. Hinduism is the soil in to which India's roots are stuck and torn out of that she will inevitably wither as a tree torn out from its place. And if HINDUS do not MAINTAIN Hinduism who shall save it? If India's own CHILDREN do not cling to her faith who shall GUARD it. India alone can save India and India and Hinduism are ONE."
- By Annie Besant (1847–1933) supporter of both Irish and Indian self-rule.
