Summary "Sport and Work on the Nepaul Frontier" by James Inglis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The text presents a vivid depiction of the life of an indigo planter in India, specifically on the frontier of Nepaul, focusing on the daily routines, challenges, and leisure activities of those engaged in this line of work. Inglis aims to illuminate both the sporting adventures and the labor involved in indigo cultivation, while also providing insights into the customs and social dynamics of the local people. The opening of the narrative introduces the author’s motivations for writing the book, emphasizing the misconception and ignorance surrounding life in India among his compatriots back home. It sets the stage for a rich exploration of the province of Behar—a region described as fertile and picturesque, woven with rivers and native villages. The author shares personal anecdotes, detailing the structure of communities among planters, their communal activities, and the connections with local villagers, highlighted by descriptions of the flora, fauna, and indigenous people. The narrative assures the reader that the coming chapters will delve into the intricacies of plantation life, hunting experiences, and the cultural tapestry that defines this unique area.
