The village gods of South India

by

Whitehead, Henry, 1853-1947

The archive.org page has the following:

" This book by Henry Whitehead is quite interesting; it details the rituals practiced in villages in South India.

However, it should be born in mind that the author was a Christian missionary, whose main objective was to convert people. Hence, the parts of the text where the author makes judgements and comparisons about the rituals, or what they mean, should not be taken too literally.

Overall, good information about rituals in South idea; ignore the judgements, comparisons and theories. "

Many thanks for your wonderful suggestions.

I have been reading A Corner of a Foreign Field and though I know almost nothing of cricket, the social history is fascinating.

Cheers! Please stay safe and healthy.

Dear Friends,

A former student is looking for some book recommendations on books that cover Indian Folklore, magic and mythical tales, and an accurate account of life during the era of British colonialism. (Scholarly or non-scholarly work is fine.)

Many thanks in advance
