NY, Harcourt, Brace [1928]. 16th printing.. Hard Cover. xiv, 440 p., 41 plates. Mayo tried to get beyond the colonial British façade and deal directly with the people of India, reporting especially on women and on social and economic conditions. The book was very controversial-- Gandhi called it a 'gutter inspector's report'-- because it suggested that many problems were caused not by the British rulers but by Indians themselves.
