This is Ackerley's account of his six-month stay in India, as the companion to the Maharajah of the small Hindu state of Chhokrapur in the 1920s. The journal extracts the irony, absurdity and farce of life in India as well as the dignity and richness of an ancient culture.
J. R. Ackerley was born in Herne Hill, Kent, in 1896 and educated at Rossall School and Magdalene College, Cambridge. In 1922 he met E.M. Forster and the two developed a close friendship. It was through Forster's influence that Ackerley left for India in 1923 to work as Private Secretary to the Marharajah of Chhokrapur, which resulted in Hindoo Holiday. He also worked as an assistant producer for the BBC and later as literary editor of the Listener.
