About This Item
Allahabad: Text Book Committee of Agra and Oudh, 1906. First edition, "Twelth [sic] Impression". Small octavo. [40] pp. Publisher's stabbed and sewn printed buff wrappers. Some scattered foxing but a very good copy overall.OCLC locates only 3 copies of this reader. It was advertised as a Hindi Reader with Christian religious reading exercises. In all the major colleges in India under the British Raj, all courses were taught in English. Nascent nationalism was just starting to appear and it is logical that the intellectuals desired to reclaim their own language as one worthy of being used in an educational setting. More than likely the Christian bits were tossed in to allay the suspicions of the British overlords.
