Downfall of India by Swami Sivananda:
"What do we find in these days in India?
India, the land which produced Bhishma, Drona, Bhima, Arjuna, Asvatthama, Kripa, Parasurama, and countless other chivalrous warriors, the soil which contained numberless Rajput chiefs of undaunted intrepidity, unparalleled chivalry and matchless strength, abounds now with effeminate weaklings dependent on hundreds of external factors for their sustenance.
All these people should emulate the example of the few great heroes and geniuses who are still the glory of India."
