Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the shocking practice of female infanticide in 19th-century India, particularly among the Jahrejah tribe in Guzerat. This practice was not new to human history, and the author finds evidence of its existence in ancient Greece and Rome, as well as among other barbarous tribes. The author seeks to understand the causes of infanticide and the reasons for its prevalence in certain societies. The author also examines the broader Hindu religious system, which despite its condemnation of infanticide, also contains the concept of vicarious responsibility, in which one person can take on the sins of another. This concept plays a role in the Jahrejahs' practice of infanticide, which they view as a sin that can be transferred to their Brahmin priests. The book explores these complex and often contradictory ideas, shedding light on the cultural and religious milieu that allowed infanticide to flourish in this particular time and place.
