Richard Karl von Garbe

"Richard Garbe, in his Indische Reiseskizzen of 1889, made sure to preface his criticism of missionary operations with the following disclaimer: “In order to protect myself against the charge of expressing anti-clerical views, I note that I would greet a mass conversion of the Indian population to Christianity joyfully and would see it as the foundation for progress and prosperity.”"

"Garbe’s important synthetic treatment Indien und das Christentum, published in 1914 after many more years of scholarly debate, opened by stating the author’s hopes that the volume would be helpful to missionaries in India, “for those who seek to exert influence on the religious life of the educated Hindus can, in my opinion, link (their work] with nothing better than with the elements that already have found their way from Christianity into the teaching of the Hindu sects.’””"

"In Kapila's doctrine, for the first time in the history of the world, the complete independence and freedom of the human mind, its full confidence in its own powers, were exhibited."

"In the present day, the blood of the Hindus is without a doubt only Aryan to the smallest degree, and even the Brahman families have been starkly contaminated with barbarian blood."
