Description
“The Travels of a Hindoo” by Baboo Bholanauth Chunder is a remarkable work deeply intertwined with India. These volumes provide an exceptional perspective on India, diverging from the conventional European travel accounts. Chunder’s narrative enhances our comprehension of Indian life, customs, and thought, surpassing the observations of previous European travelers. The narrative commences with our earliest journey up the Hooghly, dating back to February 11, 1845. This time span may seem distant, characterized by budgerows, bholios, tow-ropes, and punt-poles—elements of a bygone era.
