THE BRAHMANS, THEISTS AND 

 MUSLIMS OF INDIA 



Fully Illustrated. Demy Svo, doth, 7/6 net. 



This book deals with interesting phases of Indian religious and social 

 life at the present time. The religion (goddess-worship) of the Bengalis, 

 who have of late been so much before the world, has a chapter to itself in 

 which some strange facts in respect to esoteric rites practised by these 

 people are narrated. The dominant position of the Brakmans is brought 

 into prominence in a careful study of the Hindu caste system ; while 

 Religious and Social Reformers, as well as the results achieved by them, 

 are reviewed in some detail. Descriptive sketches of some curious 

 festivals and ceremonies are included in this volume. Muslim India has 

 two chapters devoted to it. As in his previous books the Author has 

 incorporated in this one various stories and legends, and has drawn 

 largely upon his own somewhat exceptional experiences. The photo- 

 graphs and the illustrations supplied by Mr. W. Campbell Oman are 

 designed specially to elucidate the text.
