Excerpt from The People of India

I am indebted to Rai Bahadur Lala Baij Nath, judge of Ghazipur, for the following criticism of my definition of Hinduism, as it appeared in the Census Report - 'the Census Com missioner's [definition] would have approached nearest to the mark, so far as modern Hindu society is concerned, if he had omitted the word two both from the sets of ideas and the conceptions of the world and of life The amendment sugges ted is gratefully accepted and has been duly carried out.

My thanks are also due to Mr. Justice Sarada Charan Mitra, of the Calcutta High Court, for revising the translation of a notable speech of his quoted in the chapter on Caste and Marriage, and to Mr. B. A. Gupte, F.z.s Assistant Director of Ethnography, for much assistance in the collection of material and the revision of proofs.
