Description

About The Book: The book "Cults, Customs and Superstitions of India" is a revised and enlarged edition of "Indian Life, Religious and Social." The author, who has traveled extensively throughout India and resided in each of the provinces of Northern India, has attempted to provide an understanding of the beliefs, festivals, and domestic life of the Indian people. While it may be difficult for an outsider to fully comprehend the inner life of a people who strictly adhere to caste and seclude their women, the author has had the opportunity to observe and record the habits and thoughts of the common people, who are more free and open in their domestic arrangements. Part II of the book provides personal knowledge and details about the domestic life of the lower orders, which can help readers gain accurate conceptions about the lives and ideas of many millions of men and women in British India.
