Taking the province as a whole, it will be seen that there was a decrease during
the year under report as compared with the previous year in the proportion of
persons protected under all classes of religion except " Other classes," under
which there was a small increase. As usual the greatest degree of protection
was afforded to Christians and the least to other classes. As usual also a
larger percentage of Mahomedans than Hindus was protected.
