Excerpt from The Outlaws of Kathiawar, and Other Studies
In deference to the repeated requests of I, some of my native friends I have ventured to compile, in book form, the following articles on Kathiawar and kindred subjects.
I should have liked to entirely alter the form of the series on the Outlaws of Kathiawar which were originally moulded to suit the requirements of a daily paper. As official duties prevented me from doing so as fully as I wished, I finally decided to merely reprint them as they first appeared.
I made several attempts, but without success, to obtain a satisfactory photograph, which might serve as a frontispiece, of a thoroughbred Kathi stallion.

Paperback. Zustand: NEW. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the outlaws of Kathiawar, a region of western India with a rich history of banditry and lawlessness. The author draws a parallel between the outlaws of Kathiawar and the outlaws of early English history, such as Robin Hood. These outlaws were not always criminals but often sought to right the wrongs perpetrated by more powerful neighbors and the central government. The book is divided into three sections, each of which deals with a different group of outlaws: the Girasia outlaws, the Waghir rebels, and the Miana dacoits. The book is a fascinating account of these outlaws and their place in Kathiawari history. Through the author's rich and engaging narrative, readers will gain insights into the causes of outlawry in the region and the complex motivations of the outlaws themselves.
