Description

About The Book: The Cross or the Pound Which? by Irving Ward explores the impact of Western civilization on India, particularly focusing on the choices between adopting Christian values (the Cross) or pursuing material prosperity (the Pound). The work discusses how modernization influences Indian society, especially in relation to Hinduism and its traditional practices. Through pen and ink sketches, Ward examines the social and cultural shifts occurring in India during British colonial rule. He delves into the tension between preserving religious and cultural heritage versus embracing the materialistic and Christian influences brought by the West, offering a critical perspective on India's modernization.
