Hindu Infanticide: An Account Of The Measures Adopted For Suppressing The Practice Of The Systematic Murder, By Their Parents, Of Female Infants is a book written by Edward Moor. The book provides a detailed account of the practice of infanticide in Hindu society, particularly the killing of female infants by their parents. The author describes the historical and cultural context of this practice, including the belief that having a daughter was a burden and a financial liability. The book also explores the measures that were taken to suppress this practice, including the efforts of British colonial authorities and Hindu reformers. The author argues that the practice of infanticide was not intrinsic to Hinduism, but rather a social and cultural phenomenon that could be eradicated through education and social reform. Overall, Hindu Infanticide is an important historical document that sheds light on a disturbing aspect of Indian society and the efforts to address it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
