What first suggested the writing of such a book\r\nas this, was the amazing ignorance of ordinary Indian life betrayed\r\nby people at home. The questions asked me about India, and our\r\ndaily life there, showed in many cases such an utter want of\r\nknowledge, that I thought, surely there is room here for a chatty,\r\nfamiliar, unpretentious book for friends at home, giving an account\r\nof our every-day life in India, our labours and amusements, our\r\ntoils and relaxations, and a few pictures of our ordinary daily\r\nsurroundings in the far, far East.\nSuch then is the design of my book. I want to picture to my\r\nreaders Planter Life in the Mofussil, or country districts of\r\nIndia; to tell them of our hunting, shooting, fishing, and other\r\namusements; to describe our work, our play, and matter-of-fact\r\nincidents in our daily life; to describe the natives as they appear\r\nto us in our intimate every-day dealings with them; to illustrate\r\ntheir manners, customs, dispositions, observances and sayings, so\r\nfar as these bear on our own social life.\nI am no politician, no learned ethnologist, no sage theorist. I\r\nsimply try to describe what I have seen, and hope to enlist the\r\nattention and interest of my readers, in my reminiscences of sport\r\nand labour, in the villages and jungles on the far off frontier of\r\nNepaul.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 10818 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Inglis, James \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Inglis, James,1845-1908 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43216244899997,"sku":"gb-10818-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/10818.jpg?v=1671341232","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/sport-and-work-on-the-nepaul-frontier-gb-10818","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
