Book Description

About the Book "The Living India: Its Romance and Realities" by Lieut.-General Sir George Macmunn offers an insightful exploration of India's rich cultural tapestry and complex socio-political landscape. Written by a British military officer with extensive experience in India, the book delves into the romanticized perceptions of the country, juxtaposed with its intricate realities. Macmunn provides a nuanced view of India's traditions, social issues, and historical evolution, blending personal observations with broader reflections on the country's dynamics during the early 20th century. The work remains a valuable historical document and a reflective narrative on colonial and post-colonial India.

About the Author Lieut.-General Sir George Macmunn (1869-1952) was a distinguished British officer known for his extensive service in India and his insightful writings on the subcontinent. With a military career spanning several decades, Macmunn's experiences provided him a unique perspective on India's cultural and political landscape. His notable work, "The Living India: Its Romance and Realities," offers a blend of romanticized and realistic views of India, reflecting both his personal observations and the broader socio-political context of his time.

Foreword DURING the last few years I have been constantly invited to lecture on some aspect or other of Indian life and conditions, and have found a very great desire among my hearers for a book on India that is less serious than a history and less formal than a guide-book. To stimulate the interest has now come the White Paper, with the uprising against some of its provisions which has been indeed a phenomenon of 1933- The classes who have given their sons to the rebuilding of this crashed sub-continent for many generations are now abstaining, or seeking to probe the conditions of the future before following what has hitherto been the family destiny. The Living India aims at helping this spirit of inquiry, of giving a coup d'œil of history and peoples, the life of the Europeans and such matters as the winter visitor may care to take cognizance of at opening the shutter for a few seconds. The spelling of the Indian names herein is the illogical British spelling, that we all know from the days of Little Henry and his Bearer, and no attempt has been made to follow scientific rules. Many of the photographs have been lent by the unlimited courtesy of the Indian Railway Bureau ; others have been taken by the author so recently as 1933. Where figures and data are given they are taken, for the most part, from the official publication, India in 1930-31, the latest available.
