It has been well said that no Western should attempt to make any general statement about inscrutable India; the most he can venture to say is, that in certain places certain things which he saw may possibly have been what he thought they really were. The present volume is therefore based upon appearances which may or may not have represented reality, upon conversations with Government officials, missionaries and Indian friends, who kindly gave of their leisure to a stranger, and upon the study of Government Reports. Where any generalization has been made, the writer trusts it will be taken with the reservations which a very brief residence in the East renders needful.
