Indian Fairy Tales, Demon With Matted Hair " 196, part 25, sentence 9

The Hindus have been more successful than others, because of two facts: they have had the appropriate "atmosphere" of metempsychosis, and they have also had spread among the people sufficient literary training and mental grip to invent plots.

Who acts: Hindus, others · What happens: be, have, spread, invent · To what, where: appropriate atmosphere, plots
