Description
India’s Cries British Humanity is a significant historical work by J. Peggs that addresses several pressing social issues affecting colonial India during the 19th century. The book systematically examines infanticide practices, the British connection to idolatry, ghaut murders (ritual deaths), and the institution of slavery across the Indian subcontinent.
Peggs presents a detailed critique of these practices while simultaneously appealing to the humanitarian conscience of the British public. The work serves as both a social commentary and a call for reform, documenting the human suffering and moral complexities of colonial India. It reflects the broader 19th-century discourse on imperialism, cultural practices, and the responsibilities of colonial powers.
This hardcover edition from Gyan Publishing House preserves an important historical text that contributes to understanding the social fabric of colonial India and British attitudes toward Indian society during this transformative period.
