Book: Hindoostan Hindoostan is a major contribution to the study of the encounter between Europeans and non-Europeans in the early colonial period. It is an in-depth analysis of Hindu society, politics and religion, it offers a detailed and systematic study of character, manners, habits and costumes of the Hindu way of life as the author encountered. It is futher embellished by the presence of upwards of one hundred coloured engravings dating back to the year 1822. It records a description of the people of India which, as rightly pointed out by the editor is βnot a single nation, but a great number of nation intermixed together.
