Topee And Turban: Or, Here And There In India

"Topee and Turban Or, Here and There in India" (1921) by H. A. Newell is an engaging travelogue that captures the diversity and richness of early 20th-century India. Blending personal anecdotes with cultural and historical observations, Newell explores regional customs, religious practices, architecture, and daily life across India—from Kashmir to the South.
