Note 11 — Chapter III
Reading edition
Sir A. Lyall, Asiatic Studies, I. v.: "A man is not a Hindu because he inhabits India or belongs to any particular race or state, but because he is a Brahmanist." Similarly Census of India, 1901, Report, p. 360: "The most obvious characteristics of the ordinary Hindu are his acceptance of the Brahmanical supremacy and of the caste system."
