Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fortune´s Wheel: A Tale of Hindu Domestic Life That stronghold of Hinduism, the native home, has never yet been carried. It stands impregnable within rugged walls of caste prejudice and ancestral usage. The barriers it opposes to the inquisitive outsider - barriers of race, caste, and religion - are barriers of steel; slowly corroding now, it is true, but still effectually strong to prevent curious intrusion. In this citadel of the Hindu people hangs the key to their hearts and minds and lives; and of this key the excluded foreigner can never hope to possess himself. Our knowledge of the domestic economy and social life of the Hindu family must, under existing circumstances, come from within the home itself. Apart from its intense interest as a work of fiction, the following tale (written by a high-caste Hindu) is, in this respect, of special value. It is the ´ open sesame´ before which the door of the Hindu abode flies open, revealing the complete inner life of a representative Hindu family - their home, dress, food, worship, modes of thought and speech, joys and sorrows, loves and hates, hopes and fears; their simple, unquestioning piety, so strangely blended with rank superstition; the secluded quiet of their existence; their calm stoicism and unmurmuring resignation to the decrees of fate.
