This work contains studies of goddess worship in Bengal, Caste,
Brahmaism and social reform, with descriptive sketches of curious
festivals, ceremonies and faquirs. The object of writing this book
was being to interpret, however imperfectly, the present day
Indians to the English public, Mr. Oman did his best to bring his
readers into actual touch with contemporary India at various
points, using his somewhat exceptional personal experiences in
illustrating and elucidating the subjects dealt with, which have
yet to be sought for, and do not come within the ken of Europeans
in India whether official or nonofficial. Included in this volume
are such legends and stories as seemed to throw light upon the
habits or the mental peculiarities of the Indian people.
Illustrated.
