Description

About The Book : This book deals mainly with some aspects of what may termed the psychical life of the inhabitants of the Madras Presidency, and the Native States of Travancore and Cochin. In my “Ethnographic Notes in Southern India" (1906), It is stated that the confused chapter devoted omens, animal superstitions, evil eye, charms, sorcery, etc., was a mere outline sketch of a group of subjects, which, if worked up, would furnish material for a volume, is chapter has now been remodelled. The area dealt with (roughly, 182,000 square miles, with a population of 47,800,000).
