The first thing our goodlooking young sergeant riding master asked me when he finally got a personal word with me was what my religion was. And the topic lasted all the way across the big maidan. Everything we ask about is explained to us from the point of view of traditional belief— the gods, religion, morality, idealism; every tree we ask about, every flower we notice is connected somehow with religious belief and custom. It is almost weird. The strength of it is something quite inconceivable to us. Brahmins Looking for a location, one day, we came to a river. By the banks of the river were two very spiffy motor cars. We looked down the bank and there out in the stream, seated like a white-robed Buddha in a bathing ghat, was he who was evidently the prosperous owner of the cars, and his family, scooping up portions of filthy river water, pouring it (like a sodafountain clerk) from one cup to another, praying and drinking. Once in every twelve years the water of the sacred river Ganges is supposed to be diverted into this river, and this is the year. Along the banks of the river there was such a stench of excreta that you couldn't walk there, and just back of the temples was the foulest drainage ditch I ever did see. Isn't it incredible !
