Book Description

About the Book "Published in 1938, 'British Social Life in India, 16081937' offers a vivid portrayal of British colonial life in India from the East India Company era to pre-World War II. Detailing day-to-day activities, sports, domestic life, and interactions with natives, it serves as a valuable historical record. Amidst India's transformation under British rule, the book nostalgically transports readers to the era's ambiance. It captures the essence of British influence on Indian life, including railways, architecture, and language. With a decorative narrative style, it paints a captivating picture of colonial society, from bustling Simla to the evolving Eurasian community, offering both entertainment and historical insight."

About the Author Dennis Kincaid (1905-1937) was a British civil servant and novelist in India. Known for "Shivaji: The Grand Rebel" and "British Social Life in India, 1608-1937," he provided significant insights into colonial society. Kincaid, born into a prominent family with Indian Civil Service ties, drowned in 1937. His works, including "Cactus Land," offer unconventional perspectives. Despite criticism of his portrayal of Anglo-Indians, his contributions remain noteworthy in Indian literature.

Prologue ON April 4, 1579, Father Stevens of the Society of Jesus sailed from Lisbon for the East Indies. He was the first Englishman known to have reached India. His name is still remembered with gratitude and affection by many Indians; for he was one of the earliest writers in Marathi, one of the pioneers of that language which he considered the most graceful and elegant he had ever come across; and he was the only European who has ever written a con-siderable poem in any Eastern language. The son of a rich London merchant, he was an ardent Catholic, and after studying the classics at New College he went to Douai to be trained for the priesthood. He came under the influence of Campion and entered the Society of Jesus. He felt drawn to the mission-fields of the East, enthralled by stories of St. Francis Xavier's triumphs and all the romance of Jesuit endeavour in the China Seas, which excited his imagination in the same way that tales of Elizabethan seamen in the New World stirred the young Protestant apprentices he had known at his home in London. The voyage was long and wearisome, and it must have been with great relief that he saw at last the long green coast-line of the Konkan, islands of moist sweet grass, the red soil and heavy trees, and far inland the jagged line of the Ghats.
