Dealer Notes
PRINTED IN BOMBAY - THE MASONS IN INDIA

A commemorative book of articles relating to aspects of Freemasonry. It was dedicated to Bro. Kharshedji Rustamji Cama's milestone of serving 50 years of Masonic life. Modi (1854 - 1933) was an Indian Zoroastrian priest whilst K.R Cama is considered to be the first modern Parsi orientalist and became Modi’s mentor. The articles are authored by both British and local brothers, showing a fascinating level of local acceptance of Masonry.
