Two Old Faiths: Essays on the Religions of the Hindus and the Mohammedans is a book written by J. Murray Mitchell. It is a collection of essays that explores the religious beliefs and practices of two major religions in India: Hinduism and Islam. The author delves into the history, traditions, and teachings of these religions, examining their similarities and differences. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Hinduism and the second on Islam. The essays cover a wide range of topics, including the caste system, the concept of karma, the role of women, the beliefs about God, and the practices of prayer and fasting. The author also provides insights into the influence of these religions on Indian society and culture.
