About this book
Beast and Man in India is presented as a popular sketch of Indian animals in their relations with people. The discussion maintains that no precept of mercy has protected animals in servitude in India, while admitting a more humane temper toward free creatures than in the West. The account describes an Indian schoolboy passing squirrels without throwing stones, while several birds move from his path without a flutter of fear.
The discussion calls the patience with which depredations on crops are endured one of the country’s most surprising things. The treatment of horses describes an elaborate science of stray hairs with an obstinate twist, the colour of markings, and the planting of hair in the skin.
