The Lights And Shades Of Hill Life Kulu Kuram

About the Book :- An endeavour has been made, in taking these two valleys of one province alone of the vast continent, to recall how utterly different in race and nationality, religion and character, the inhabitants we know as ‘Indians’ are. What we call India has absolutely no meaning to any of the native dwellers within the area. It is a vast conglomeration of distinct peoples and nationalities, conquered by British blood freely shed, and welded together solely by the physical and moral strength of a superior race—a conglomeration which consists of some fourteen distinct races, speaking some seventy-eight different languages, and living in every possible degree of civilisation. This work offers a description of two separate journeys made by the author in 2 areas of the British Empire. He travelled in the Kullu region of the Himalayan and the Kuram region of the NWFP (now in Pakistan). The Kullu part of the book has 4 chapters and the Kurram part has 6. It further contains 72 photographs and 21 wood cuts. These were reproduced from drawings kindly contributed by Count Ferdinand Harrach and K. M. Bernard. About the Author:-Sir Edwin Arnold KCIE CSI was an English poet and journalist, who is most known for his work The Light of Asia. He was educated at King's School, Rochester; King's College London; and University College, Oxford, where he won the Newdigate prize for poetry on the subject of ‘The Feast of Belshazzar’ in 1852. He became a schoolmaster, at King Edward's School, Birmingham, and in 1856 went to India as Principal of the Government Sanskrit College at Poona, a post which he held for seven years, which includes a period during the mutiny of 1857, when he was able to render services for which he was publicly thanked by Lord Elphinstone in the Bombay Council. Here he received the bias towards, and gathered material for, his future works. It was, however, as a poet that he was best known to his contemporaries. The literary task which he set before him was the interpretation in English verse of the life and philosophy of the East.
