<b>The Land of the Veda: Being Personal Reminiscences of India; Its People, Castes, Thugs, and... </b>By William Butler publ 1872

I think people use these type of book to degrade Hindusim and customs.

If the English rule were withdrawn tomorrow, the last thing the natives would think of would be to unite and form a general Government. Each Rajah and Nawab would simply set up for himself, hold all he had and take all he was able to seize . Then would begin a renewal of theose religious and national contentions which form such a sad part of India's history and the bloody excercise of which Britain terminated when she took control of the country, ever since holding the peace between those hostile elements.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
