About This Book

A sequence of eight illustrated lectures presents regional surveys of India for school instruction, each pairing a province with a central theme: religion in Madras and Burma; the monsoon system in Bengal; historical episodes and political groups such as the Mutiny in the United Provinces, the Marathas in Bombay, the feudatory states of Rajputana, the Muhammadan religion in Delhi, and the Sikhs on the Northwest Frontier. The work combines geographic description, cultural and religious exposition, and concise historical sketches, supported by lantern slides and maps to promote comparative understanding across diverse regions.
