Talk:Edwin Arnold

Light of asia and credentials

Edwin or Edward?
Is Edwin Arnold synonymous with the often-mentioned Edward Arnold, often quoted for his analysis of the Maxim gun at Omdurman : "In most of our wars, it has been the dash, the skill and the bravery of our officers and men that have won the day, but in this case the battle was won by a quiet scientific gentlemen living down in Kent." This article quotes "Edwin", but all other sources I know quote "Edward". Anyone know the original source for this quote? The Times gets mentioned a lot, but I also stumbled on a reference that says Daily Telegraph, both 1898. Any help would be greatly appreciated. --MortenB 23:11, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

drugs
Edwin Arnold, in his famous poem The Light of Asia speaks of abstinence like this: "Shun drugs and drinks which work the wit abuse; Clear minds, clean bodies, need no Soma juice."

India?
The use of the word 'India' is a misnomer.

India as a nation is the name of British-India.

Ancient Sanskrit works are not from the heritage of that India, nor of the new nation called India.

The population who created the original Sanskrit works might not have much link with either Indias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.97.168.107 (talk) 03:43, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
