Darkest India is a book written by Commissioner Booth-Tucker, which explores the social and economic conditions of India during the late 19th century. The book is a detailed account of the author's experiences and observations during his time as a Salvation Army officer in India. Commissioner Booth-Tucker delves into the issues of poverty, caste discrimination, and the plight of women in India. He also discusses the impact of British colonialism on the country and the need for social and economic reforms. The book provides a unique perspective on India's history and sheds light on the struggles faced by the Indian people during this time period. Overall, Darkest India is a powerful and thought-provoking book that offers valuable insights into the complex social and economic issues of India's past.In the cities the overcrowding has become so excessive, and the accomodation available for the poor is so inadequate, costly and squalid, as to almost beggar description. Considerations of decency, comfort and health are largely thrown to the winds. A single unfurnished room, merely divided from the next one by a thin boarding, through which everything can be heard, will command from five to thirty rupees a month, and even more, according to its position, in Bombay.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
