Description
Indian Recreations presents a comprehensive analysis of the domestic and rural economy of Muslim and Hindu populations in India. Written by William Tennant, this 2nd edition work serves as a historical document that scrutinizes the daily lives, economic practices, and household management of these communities. The text covers various aspects of Indian society, including agricultural practices, family structures, domestic arrangements, and economic activities that formed the backbone of rural life.
This work is significant for understanding 19th-century perspectives on Indian civilization and provides valuable ethnographic observations about Hindu and Muslim customs, traditions, and economic systems. Tennant’s detailed accounts offer readers insight into how these communities organized their domestic affairs, managed their resources, and sustained their livelihoods. The book remains an important historical resource for scholars studying colonial-era India, cultural anthropology, and the economic history of the Indian subcontinent.
