Description

About The Book: Excursions in India, Vol. 1 by Thomas Skinner provides a detailed travelogue of his journey through British India in the early 19th century. Skinner explores cities, rural areas, and encounters with local cultures, offering insights into the social, political, and geographical aspects of India under British colonial rule. His descriptions of daily life, landscapes, and architecture reflect both admiration and colonial perspectives of the time. Excursions in India, Vol. 2 focuses on Skinner’s extraordinary journey across the Himalayas to the sources of the Jumna and Ganges rivers. This volume captures the physical and spiritual challenges of traversing these sacred landscapes. Skinner describes the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas, local villages, and the religious significance of the river sources, blending adventure with cultural reflection. It remains a fascinating account of 19th-century exploration and the intersection of colonialism and spirituality.
