Book Description
Excerpt from The Tribes and Castes of the North-Western Provinces and Oudh, Vol. 4 of 4 Mughul, Mughul. - One of the four great Muhammadan sub divisions known in Europe under the form Mongol. Mr. Ibbetson, ' writing of the panjab, does not attempt to touch upon the much debated question of the distinction between the Turks and Mughuls. In the Delhi territory, indeed, the villagers accustomed to describe the Mughuls of the Empire as Turks, used the word as synonymous with official, and I have heard my Hindu clerks of Kayasth class described as Turks, merely because they were in Government employ. On the Biloch frontier the word Turk is commonly used as synonym ous with Mughul. The Mughuls preper probably either entered the Paujfib with Babar, or were attracted thither under the dynasty of his successors; and I believe that the great majority of those who have returned themselves as Mughuls in the Eastern Panjab really belong to that race. In these Provinces they say that they take their name from their ancestor Mughul Khan. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Product Dimensions: 25x16x3 cm. - Description: The book is divided into 4 parts, that are based on the 4 fold division of Hindu castes: Brahmanical, Kshatriya, and Rajputs mixed castes of Viasyas and Shudras, and finally aboriginal, and other so called lower castes. This work, first published in 1872, is the outcome of meticulous researches carried out by the author. Drawing upon various treatises, and his acquaintance with many families of Benaras, he presents the outcome in a very clear and academic way. The book is divided into 4 parts, that are based on the 4 fold division of Hindu castes : Brahmanical, Kshatriya and Rajpoots, Mixed Castes of Viasyas and Shudras, and finally Aboriginal, and other so-called lower castes. Genealogies of the castes given are quite thorough, and often are traced tight back to their mythological roots. Over 400 castes in all have been noticed. Included in the book are 5 plates of quaint bearded statues that are found in the vicinity. The book has 405 pages.
