	Chapter
		THE Hindoos are not idolaters, as it has been so often asserted: they acknow- ledge in reality but one Supreme Being, though they pay the same kind of wor- ship-to the images of their gods as the Roman Catholics do to those of the Virgin Mary and the Saints.
		The Hindoos,, though strongly at- tached to their own religion, not only never persecute the professors of any other, but do not even endeavour to make proselytes, believing that every virtuous man, whatever may bo his re- ligion, ivill be happy hereafter.
		Q170 HINDOOSTAN Putavi, in the bowels of a spacious island, situated opposite to the southern slope of Mount Mienmo, (the Merit, of the Hindoos) is the niria, or hell.

	Hindoo
		Hindoo, the most noted racehorse of his day, revitalized the Byerley Turk sire line in the U.S. for a few generations.
		In the decades immediately preceding and following the turn of the century, Hindoo, his sons, grandsons, and their sons and grandsons were preeminent racehorses of the American turf, accounting for nine American classic winners between 1884 and 1910, and for two leading sires during that period.
		Hindoo's sire, the dark bay Virgil (1864, by Vandal), a grandson of imported Glencoe, had been a decent runner, winning six races at distances up to two miles at age three, although generally he could not run beyond a mile, and was easily beaten by better horses.

	Hanover
		He was in the first crop by Hindoo, one of the best racehorses ever to grace the American turf, and, although he proved to be a worthy successor to his sire on the track, Hanover's appearance was unlike his plain-headed, long-backed, minimally marked bay sire.
		Hindoo was a Vandal grandson, thus Hanover was inbred 3 x 3 to Vandal.
		On Hindoo's side of Hanover's pedigree was his dam, Florence, by the great American racehorse and sire Lexington, whose pedigree was considered "impure," since the female line pedigree of his grandsire, Timoleon, could not be traced in the General Stud Book.

	[No title]
		The Hindoo, overjoyed at his success, and the ease with which he had accomplished his villany, mounted his horse, took the princess behind him, with the assistance of the keeper, turned the peg, and instantly the horse mounted into the air.
		During the Hindoo's absence, the princess of Bengal, who knew that she was in the power of a base ravisher, whose violence she dreaded, thought of escaping from him, and seeking out for some sanctuary.
		When the Hindoo returned, she did not wait to be entreated, but ate with him, and recovered herself enough to answer with courage to the insolent language he now began to hold to her.

	The Mohammedan Controversy
		The same intelligent Hindoo, with another Hindoo coadjutor (both of them, by the way, specimens of the good effects that may be produced by the system of education pursued in our Government Colleges), has himself entered the lists with the Mohammedans.
		It is entirely aggressive on the part of the Hindoo, who carries the battle into Mohammedan territory; the chief ground occupied, being the insufficiency of the evidences or the miracles alleged to have been wrought by Mohammed.
		The Hindoo rejoins in a long paper, in which he completely demolishes the Cazee's argument, proceeds to impugn the morality of the Coran, and closes with a decided expression of preference for Christianity and its evidences.

	Hindus in Armenia
		After their death, these two Hindoo princes, were deified by their descendants, for they must have gone to Armenia with their families and a large retinue, as future events will prove.
		These gods were made entirely of brass, the former, according to Zenob, was twelve cubits high, and the latter fifteen cubits and the priests that were appointed for the service of these gods were all Hindoos.
		On the restoration of peace between the Armenians and the Hindoos, the Armenian prince of the house of Siunies proceeded to the Hindoo village of Kuars and succeeded in persuading the inhabitants of that place to renounce idolatry and embrace the Christian faith which had now became the State religion.

	HIMAL SOUTH ASIAN \| October 2002 \| Reflections \| Seventy years of Hindoo Holiday
		With its candid approach to a subject that is largely taboo, Hindoo Holiday addresses a niche readership that is not put off by its seeming ‘decadence’.
		Hindoo Holiday was the product of the journal that he maintained during his stint in India.
		Its people, the maharaja with his homosexual subtext, and his retinue of a prime minister, a secretary, five Englishmen and women, the ubiquitous flunkies and some off-stage conspiring relatives, make for a cast of the usual suspects, but it is Ackerley’s treatment of them that has something valuable to offer.

	Old Deccan Days: Notes on the Fairy Legends
		The Hindoo conscience condemns murder and treachery as emphatically as the European; but this act, as viewed by the old-fashioned Mahratta, was a sacrifice prescribed by direct revelation of the terrible goddess Bowani to her faithful devotee.
		It must be remembered that Hindoo sacrifice has nothing but the name in common with the sacrifices which are a distinctive part of the religion of every Semitic race.
		The touch of the poor outcast Mahars would be pollution to a Hindoo of any but the lowest caste; hence their ready obedience to the Jackal's exhortation not to touch him.

		The Hindoo had soon completed his business at the lake, and unconscious of their movements, he had returned to the tree, where to his surprise and sorrow, he discovered his loss.
		Nearly frantic, the Hindoo doubted not some sly thief had watched his motions and removed his treasures, when he heard certain horrid yells from the monkeys which attracted his attention: he returned hastily to the lake, and on looking up to the tree, he discovered his enemies in the monkeys.
		The Hindoo, astonished at the sight of gold, thought to repay his benefactor by another cup of spirits, which he placed before the monkey, who drank it off, and again mounted the tree, and shortly returned with a second gold mohur.

		The unfortunate Hindoo widow is often the drudge in the family; every worry and all work that no one in the family will ever do is heaped on her head; and yet the terrible mother-in-law will almost four times in the hour visit her with cutting taunts and sweeping curses.
		The Hindoo lawgivers were all men, and, whatever others may say about them, I must say that in this one particular respect, viz., that of giving woman her own place in society, they were very partial and short-sighted men.
		The Hindoo hails the birth of a son with noisy demonstrations of joy and feasting; that of a female child as the advent of something that he would most gladly avoid if he could.

	Old Deccan Days: Introduction
		They are generally a well-favoured, well-to-do people, noticeable for their superior frugality, intelligence, and industry, and for the way in which they combine and act together as a separate body apart from other Hindoos.
		The extraordinary beauty of some of the natural features of the coast scenery, and the abundance of the architectural and other remains of powerful and highly civilised Hindoo dynasties, have attracted the attention of tourists and antiquaries, though not to the extent their intrinsic merit deserves.
		No orthodox Hindoo deity is so popular in the Poona Deccan as the deified sage Vithoba and his earlier expounders, both sage and followers being purely local divinities.

		A journal of Ackerleys stay in the Indian province of Chhatarpur during the 1920s, "Hindoo Holiday" records and mocks the muddled morality and intellectual immaturity of both slothful Indian rulers and equally pampered British colonialists.
		For the most part, Ackerleys portraits are nonjudgmental and fond; he reserves his venom for the British guests and, to a lesser extent, for his sycophantic tutor, Abdul, and clumsy servant-child, Habib.
		lt;br /gt; lt;br /gt;Throughout "Hindoo Holiday" there is a disconcerting, even creepy, undercurrent that revolves around the sexual despotism of the Maharajah, whose predatory advances are directed towards the "Gods"--his name for the boys in his employ.

		The ancient Hindoo dice, known by the name of coupun, are almost precisely similar to the modern dice, being thrown out of a box; but the practice of loading is plainly alluded to, and some skill seems to have been occasionally exercised in the rattling of the dice-box.
		In the more modern game, known by the name of pasha, the dice are not cubic, but oblong; and they are thrown from the hand either direct upon the ground, or against a post or board, which will break the fall, and render the result more a matter of chance.
		The great gambling match of the Hindoo epic was the result of a conspiracy to ruin Yudhishthira, a successful warrior, the representative of a mighty family--the Pandavas, who were incessantly pursued by the envy of the Kauravas, their rivals.

		The courtiers about the emperor of Persia could not forbear laughing aloud at this extravagant demand of the Hindoo; but the prince Firoze Shaw, the eldest son of the emperor, and presumptive heir to the crown, could not hear it without indignation.
		Notwithstanding all these arguments of the Hindoo, which carried great appearance of probability, the emperor of Persia was much alarmed at the evident danger of his son.
