It reflects Elwin's personal observations and experiences living in India, focusing on the complexities and unique aspects of Indian culture. At the start of the book, the author introduces the misconceptions surrounding India, emphasizing the need for a better understanding of its people and traditions. He discusses the intricacies of Hinduism, shedding light on the inconsistencies and diverse beliefs among its followers.
