The study of the Indian craftsman raises questions of the widest and deepest interest, questions that will not only give consciousness to modern Eastern thought but help us with some of the most advanced of our Western problems. He tells us of a condition of life among the eastern Aryans that still exists, and he tells it in such a way as to make us feel that there is no reason why it should not go on existing. If we examine our own Western economic history, more particularly the history of England, we find that the breakup of the conditions of English craftsmanship and the English village order, cannot be traced back beyond the industrial revolution of the 18th century, and the enclosure of the common lands that accompanied it. Fundamentally, with us, the great change came with the introduction of industrial machinery, and the question which forces itself upon us, when we look at the picture.

Ananda K. Coomaraswamy ( Ananda Kentish Muthu Coomaraswamy 1877 − 1947) was a Ceylonese Tamil metaphysician, pioneering historian and philosopher of Indian art who was an early interpreter of Indian culture to the West. In particular, he is described as "the groundbreaking theorist who was largely responsible for introducing ancient Indian art to the West.He made important contributions to the philosophy of art, literature, and religion. He wrote many books to earn plaudits.
