Excerpt from The Indian Countryside: A Calendar and Diary India is a large country - almost a continent - and the conditions prevailing in one part are not to be applied to the whole. It is, therefore, necessary to mention that the sketches here following refer entirely to the central districts of the United Provinces, the very kernel of Hindustan. For nine months in every year I have toured through these districts, covering in all some 2 miles on horseback. During the winter months, when the country is refreshingly green and the air cold and bracing, life under canvas is wholly enjoyable, but from April onwards to June every day passed under canvas is a week off one's life. The discomforts and hardships, the heat, the dust, the storms are beyond description. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
