India is a modern country of some two hundred million people intermingled with a timeless country of 800 million souls. Understanding Modern India is not all that difficult as it is much like the United States.

Village Life in Bengal by Tara Krishna Basu and Hindu Customs in Bengal by Besanta Koomar Bose, describe part of the life which exists just under the surface of modern India.
