Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Jungle Tales: Adventures in India
You would often feel terrified. Tigers, bears, panthers, leopards, and wild boar teem in the jungle, and the Arms Act forbids natives to have firearms.
You would feel hungry. Millions of Hindus go through life without once having a full stom ach.
You would feel hopeless. Out of a thousand Hindus only fifty ever learn to read. Almost all are desperately poor - average income, five cents a day. As there is no democracy in India, if you were born low down in the social scale you must remain there. A rigid caste system, centuries old and sanctioned by the Hindu re ligian, forbids you to rise.
