Excerpt from The Arts and Crafts of India and Ceylon That the work is divided into two parts, the first concerned with Hindu and Buddhist art, the latter with the Musulman arts, is solely to facilitate an un derstanding of their historical relations and psycho logical development: I do not forget that in almost every art and craft, as also in music, there exists in Hindustan a complete and friendly fusion of the two cultures. The non-sectarian character of the styles of Indian art has indeed always been conspicuous; so that it is often only by special details that one can distinguishjain from Buddhist st pas, Buddhist from Hindu sculpture, or the Hindu from the Musulmz'm minor crafts. The one great distinction of Mughal from Hindu art is not so much racial as social; the former is an art of courts and connoisseurs, owing much to individual patronage, the latter belongs as' much to the folk as to the kings.
