Supplement to the Glossary of Indian Terms - Gyan Books

About The Book: **Supplement to the Glossary of Indian Terms** by **Sir Henry Miers Elliot** is a comprehensive reference work that explains administrative, cultural, legal, and social terms used in British India, particularly those derived from Persian, Arabic, Hindi, and Sanskrit. Compiled during Elliot’s service in the North-Western Provinces, the glossary aimed to assist British officials in understanding local terminology essential for governance. More than just definitions, it includes historical and ethnographic notes, making it a valuable resource on Indian society, customs, castes, and legal practices. This work later evolved into a broader ethnographic study, reflecting Elliot’s deep engagement with India’s diverse cultures.
