India: What can it teach us? A Course of Lectures Delivered before the University Of Cambridge

"India: What Can It Teach Us?" by F. Max Müller is a collection of talks given at Cambridge, where he argues India's old writings, traditions, plus intellect have important knowledge for today. He corrects false ideas about India's smartness and the unfair opinions of its people under British rule. He starts by questioning if his talks even matter to those training to work in India, but stresses it’s vital to truly care about the work, and understand India deeply. Müller insists against seeing India's rich culture as unimportant, and thinks learning about the cultural heritage can improve the lives of those working there, creating a strong feeling of connection and respect.
