Read this if you ever get the chance. It's a gold mine of Jeet hate.
>Grant portrays Indian society—particularly among Hindus—as plagued by moral decay, which he attributes directly to religious and cultural practices. Key criticisms include:Degradation of Hinduism: He labels Hindu beliefs as "depraved, degenerate, and despotic," characterized by idolatry, superstition, caste rigidity, and rituals he views as inhumane (e.g., sati, infanticide, and temple practices).

>Grant argues that these elements foster corruption, injustice, and a lack of ethical principles, leading to societal abuses like bribery, oppression of lower castes, and criminal behavior.
Impact on Governance and Society: Under British rule, Grant notes improvements in administration but criticizes the persistence of native corruption and the Company's policy of religious neutrality, which he sees as enabling moral decline. He discusses how caste divisions and "daemon" worship contribute to a fragmented, unhappy populace, contrasting this with Christian values of equality and morality.

>Broader Consequences: Grant links these moral issues to political instability, economic inefficiency, and the overall well-being of Britain's Asiatic subjects, suggesting that without reform, British dominion could be undermined.
