| Summary | "Children of India" by Janet Harvey Kelman is an informative publication likely written in the early 20th century. The work provides insight into the lives, beliefs, and customs of Indian children, focusing on various themes such as religion, customs, and the significance of the Ganges River within Hindu culture. Through its exploration of these topics, the book aims to present a vivid depiction of India’s rich heritage and the experiences of its youth. The opening of "Children of India" sets the stage for understanding the various elements that shape the lives of Hindu children. It begins by discussing the ancient beliefs that influence modern customs, particularly the integral role of stories about gods and historical figures in shaping Hindu culture. The text describes the landscape of India as not only physical but metaphorical, emphasizing the spiritual dimensions of hills, rivers, and the stories associated with them. As a foundation for further chapters, this introduction hints at the exploration of significant themes like the sacredness of the Ganges, the concept of caste, and how religious beliefs intertwine with daily life, particularly the perspectives and challenges faced by children within these structures.
