Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Brahmans, Theists and Muslims of India: Studies of Goddess-Worship in Bengal, Caste, Brahmaism and Social Reform, With Descriptive Sketches of Curious Festivals, Ceremonies and Faquirs My object in writing this book being to interpret, however imperfectly, the present-day Indians to the English public, I have done my best to bring my readers into actual touch, as it were, with contemporary India at various points, using my somewhat exceptional personal experiences, as much as possible, in illustrating and elucidating the subjects dealt with, which, although by no means esoteric, have yet to be sought for, and do not, in ordinary course, come within the ken of Europeans in India whether official or non-official. Following the plan adopted in my previous books, I have included in this volume such legends and stories as seemed to me to throw light upon the habits or the mental peculiarities of the Indian people. The figures recorded in the recently published Report on the Census of the Empire show that more than a half of the entire number of men and women under British rule follow the Hindu religion; that Islam claims another quarter of the inhabitants of the Empire, and that the remainder is made up of Christians (including those of the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Colonies, and India), and of Buddhists, Jains, Jews, etc. Very striking and significant figures indeed are these, and may well awaken many trains of thought and speculation.
