Domestic Manners and Customs of the Hindoos of Northern India: Or More Strictly Speaking, of the North West Provinces of India

Domestic Manners and Customs of the Hindoos of Northern India by Ishuree Dass (b. 1822) provides a rare, firsthand account of 19th-century Hindu life in the North-Western Provinces. Written by a native author, it explores social norms, religious practices, festivals, family structures, and everyday routines. Dass’s work offers valuable insights into indigenous perspectives during British colonial rule, making it a significant ethnographic and historical document that helps bridge cultural understanding between India and the West during that era.
