This book covers the cultural, regional, and socio-economic aspects of the Travancore region, which was a Princely state.
NATIVE LIFE IN TRAVANCORE is a book written by The REV. SAMUEL MATEER, F.L.S. of the London Missionary Society. Though this book focuses on the actual social realities of the Travancore kingdom during the 1800s, what has been portrayed can literally reflect the social scene in the various locations of the South Asian Subcontinent of those times. The various populations arranged in a vertical hierarchical social order with each of them suppressing those populations that came below them. And at the same time extending homage and respect to those who came above them. The plight of the bound-to-the-soil slaves is a very revealing one, in that it can very easily be seen that that the oft-mentione...

A miniscule and yet very detailed picture of the realities of the South Asian subcontinent currently occupied by Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. This book deals directly with the south-western parts of the peninsula. However, the social realities of locations inside the subcontinent, but foreign to the kingdom of Travancore were not much different.
This is a great book indeed. Even though this book ostensibly speaks of the kingdom of Travancore, the core emotions that have been dealt out can be on various aspects of the geographical area known as the South Asian peninsula, and even of the Asian landmass. This book contains a very rare insight into what were the realities of the social living conditions of the peoples of the geographical area known to the outside world as the Indian peninsular area, Indian peninsula, the South Asian Subcontinent. It may be mentioned in passing that it is quite doubtful if any of the inhabitants of this Sub Continent were aware that they were living in 'India' or that they were 'Indians' before the advent of the English rule that created a nation here.This is also a book that displays the author Rev. Samuel Mateer and many others of the same genre as gullible fools, who set to improve populations which had no content of gratitude for the benevolence they had received.Customers from India can buy this book from this link also: http://imojo.in/1dl9ga
