Written by the famous explorer and imperialist FE Younghusband, this book has its genesis in a series of talks given by him in North America, about the state of the Indian nation during the turbulent decade following the Great War. The book has 19 chapters, and is divided into two parts: Political, and Spiritual. The political section has chapters on: call for self Government, Indian nationalism, reason for British dominion, self Government, Hindu Muslim tension, Indian states, etc. The spiritual section observes : Indian spirituality, Tagore, Gandhi, Indian women, Radhakrishnan, Sadhu Sundar Singh, etc. This book was first published in 1930.

Lieutenant Colonel Sir Francis Edward Younghusband, KCSI KCIE was a British Army officer, explorer, and spiritual writer. He is remembered for his travels in the Far East and Central Asia; especially the 1904 British expedition to Tibet, led by himself, and for his writings on Asia and foreign policy. Younghusband held positions including British Commissioner to Tibet and President of the Royal Geographical Society. Having read General MacGregor's book Defence of India he could have justifiably called himself an expert on the "Great Game" of espionage that was unfolding on the Steppes of Asia. In 1886–1887, on leave from his regiment, Younghusband made an expedition across Asia though still a young officer. After sailing to China his party set out, with Colonel Mark Bell's permission, to cross 1200 miles of desert with the ostensible authority to survey the geography; but in reality the purposes were to ascertain the strength of the Russian physical threats to the Raj.
