Description
This authoritative hardcover volume by Walter Kelly Firminger presents a detailed examination of Freemasonry’s early history in Bengal and the Punjab. The work traces the introduction of Masonic principles and practices to these regions during the British colonial era, documenting the founding of lodges, notable members, and the fraternity’s evolution.
Firminger’s research reveals how Freemasonry became an important social and cultural institution among the colonial elite and Indian educated classes.

Through careful historical analysis, the author demonstrates the complex relationship between Masonry, colonialism, and emerging Indian society.
Essential for historians, scholars of colonial India, and anyone interested in the social history of the subcontinent, this work provides valuable insights into a fascinating but often overlooked aspect of Indian history during the 18th and 19th centuries.
