India'S Cries To British Humanity, Relative to Infanticide, British Connection with Idolatry, Ghaut Murders, Suttee, Slavery and Colonization in India; To which are Added, Humane Hints for the Melioration of the State of Society in British India

About The Book: In this book, the author wrote his experiences during his time in India, where he personally witnessed distressing practices such as widow burning, the challenges faced by pilgrims at the Juggernaut Temple, the exposure of the sick and deceased along the Ganges, and other cruel acts associated with Hinduism. Upon returning to his home country in 1826, the author dedicated himself to raising awareness and advocating for the suppression of these issues. He published multiple editions of pamphlets, including "The Suttees' Cry to Britain," "Pilgrim Tax in India," "Ghaut Murders in India," and "Infanticide in India." With the support of friends, these pamphlets were distributed to government officials across different presidencies in India. The author's efforts were acknowledged and appreciated by Lord W. Bentinck, the Governor General of India, who expressed his concern for the Suttee issue. The Governor General also encouraged suggestions to promote national industry, enhance commerce, improve education, and foster the general prosperity and happiness of the British empire in India.
