Excerpt from Theism in Medieval India: Lectures Delivered in Essex Hall, London, October-December, 1919 The close of the reign of Akbar, the contemporary of Queen Elizabeth, sees the failure of his attempt to establish an Imperial Monotheism which should transcend both Islam and the ancient native faiths, while it finds Hinduism provided with its greatest religious poem, the Ramayana of Tulsi Das, and the community of the Sikhs passing into a small but vigorous church-nation. With this era the volume ends. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
