Native Life in Travancore is a book written by Samuel Mateer in 1883. The book is a comprehensive study of the social, cultural, and religious life of the people living in the Indian state of Travancore during the 19th century. The author, who was a missionary and a scholar, spent several years living among the people of Travancore, learning about their customs, beliefs, and way of life. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of life in Travancore. The author provides detailed descriptions of the people's clothing, food, housing, and occupations. He also delves into their religious beliefs and practices, including their worship of Hindu gods and goddesses, as well as their interactions with Christian missionaries. In addition to describing the day-to-day life of the people, Mateer also provides insights into the political and economic systems of Travancore. He discusses the role of the Maharaja, the local ruler, and how he maintained his power and authority over the people. He also explores the various industries and trades that were prevalent in the region, including agriculture, fishing, and weaving. Overall, Native Life in Travancore is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Indian history and culture.
