The Queen’s Justice: A True Story of Indian Village Life, written by Edwin Arnold and published in 1899, is a non-fiction book that presents an account of the author’s experiences in India during the late 19th century. The book is an insightful and detailed exploration of the social and cultural customs of Indian village life during this period.Arnold, a British author and journalist, spent several years in India as a correspondent for The Daily Telegraph. During his time there, he developed a deep fascination with the country’s rich culture and diverse society. The Queen’s Justice is the result of his observations and interactions with the people he encountered during his travels.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of Indian village life. Arnold provides vivid descriptions of the customs, beliefs, and traditions of the people he meets, as well as their daily struggles and triumphs. He also examines the complex social and political structures that govern village life, including the role of the British colonial government in shaping these structures.Throughout the book, Arnold provides a nuanced and empathetic portrayal of the Indian people, emphasizing their resilience and resourcefulness in the face of adversity. He also reflects on his own position as an outsider in this complex and fascinating society.Overall, The Queen’s Justice is a compelling and insightful account of Indian village life during the late 19th century. It offers readers a unique perspective on a culture and society that is often misunderstood and misrepresented in Western media.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
