Children's Life in Other Countries Published 1907 - This book is one of a series that aims at describing other cultures to children in an entertaining way that honors the culture, educates the child and keeps their minds open to the possibility of other people living wonderful lives in far off places. India is a big country, and there are many different races of people living within its borders, the two principal ones being the Mohammedans and the Hindus. The Mohammedans number about sixty millions and there are about a hundred and eighty millions of Hindus. The intelligence of the Hindus is of a very high order. Their attention to their food and drink and personal cleanliness is remarkable, and they follow a healthful and sanitary manner of living which might well be practiced by Western folk."
