Book Description
PREFACE

THIS book is an attempt to tell the story of one of the greatest of our Indian Provinces from the social point of view. If some space has been given to the geography of the country, it has been intended to explain the environment of the people. The sketch of the history up to the establishment of our rule has been written with the same object. I have then endeavoured to discuss briefly some of the chief social problems which the Government has attempted to solve the repression of crime, the crusade against filth and disease, the relief of famine, of the depressed classes, the development of agriculture and trade.

This is followed by an account of the people themselves, largely based on information collected in the course of the Ethnographical Survey of the Province, which has been recently completed under my superintendence. I have tried to describe briefly the more interesting tribes, and to show what the religious beliefs of the peasantry are. This is a subject which I have dealt with more fully from the stand- point of Folklore in another book. Lastly, I have described how the revenue is "settled" and collected, how the peasant is protected from extortion, how he farms the land and makes his living.

I have used throughout information stored in a mass of Blue Books-Census, Settlement, and Administrative Re- ports, a body of literature practically beyond the ken of English readers; and I have largely used information derived from Sir W. W. Hunter's Imperial Gazetteer, and those of the North-Western Provinces and Oudh prepared under the orders of the Local Government. For access to many of these, I have to thank the authorities of the India Office Library.
