Description
The author reveals that the present volume will be acceptable not as a work on the religious and social observance of the Punjab people so much as a compilation of raw material on which fuller and more systematic investigations may be based. This volume has been pieced together as material came to hand and as new books and writings came to his notice. It is a glossary of the study of an ethnological study of areas of presentday Pakistan and India. It was compiled by Indian Civil Service administrator H. A. Rose, based on the 1883 and 1892 census reports for the Punjab. It was originally published in Lahore at a price of 22 shillings for the three volume set. The first volume was published in 1911 and the third volume, containing ethnographical accounts by Sir Denzil Ibbetson and Sir Edward MacLagan, was published in 1919. The book is in three volumes. The book discusses the races of the Himalayas and Sivalik Hills, Lamaism, Buddhism, Sects of Jains, NagWorship, Hindu philosophy, Islamic Practices and the religious history of Islam, Sufi orders, the Legend of Dulla Bhati, versions of Mirza and Sahiban, and other subjects. The book is good for all.
