Iyothee Thass - Criticism

Criticism

Some later critics labeled Iyothee Thass as an Anglophile, who was staunchly against the Indian freedom movement. In the early part of the 20th century, he indulged in vehement condemnation of the Swadeshi movement and the nationalist press remarking that he could "locate the power of the modern secular brahmin in the control he wielded over public opinion."

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:

    “It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    “When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.”
    —Ben Hecht (1893–1964)

    “Homoeopathy is insignificant as an art of healing, but of great value as criticism on the hygeia or medical practice of the time.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
