Chapter I. Antecedents. 1. THE HINDU SACRED LAW A WRITER who attempts to describe the development of the agrarian system of Moslem India is confronted at the outset by a difficulty arising from the absence of any definite starting-point. It is clear that the first Moslem conquerors did not impose an entirely foreign system on their Indian subjects: the observed continuity of institutions shows that they took over portions, at least, of the system which they found in operation, and adapted it, as time went on, to meet changing needs. The ideal starting-point would thus be a description of the Hindu system as it stood in theory, and worked in practice, during the twelfth century; but nothing of the kind is known to exist, and the conditions of the period make it unlikely that such a description was ever prepared. It is conceivable that the progress of antiquarian research may eventually make it possible to write a historical account of the development of the Hindu system, based on precisely-dated documents and inscriptions, but I am assured by scholars that adequate materials for that task are not yet available. Failing such accounts or descriptions, the most that can be done is to offer a statement of the fundamental features of the Hindu system, and indicate their logical, if not their historical, connection with the institutions which we meet under the early Moslem rulers. I attempt such a statement in this chapter; but at the outset it is necessary to explain that I am dependent on translations and secondary sources for the voluminous Sanskrit literature, and my experience suggests that translations may be dangerous guides in technical matters. Some of the greatest difficulties which present themselves in studying the Moslem period arise
