When the Indians travelled together thev seldom walked or rode two or more abreast. but followed one another In single 6le.

The true reason for juurucying as the Indians did in single fife seems to be a feeling of caste. This feeling was at the bottom of other customs Of the Indians lt made their women slaves and rendered the men silent and unSo- cisl This pecudarity is Asiatic.
