| 520 | _a"The Popular Religion and Folk-Lore of Northern India, Vol. 2" by W. Crooke is an academic and anthropological study written in the late 19th century. This work delves into various aspects of folk beliefs, superstitions, and practices prevalent in Northern India, exploring their cultural and religious significances. The topics covered include notions of the Evil Eye, various forms of worship, and protective customs that people observe to avoid misfortunes and demonic influences. The opening of the book begins by discussing the widespread belief in the Evil Eye and its connections to various superstitions in Northern India. Crooke highlights the complexities surrounding this belief, including protective symbols and practices employed by villagers, as well as the psychological roots of envy that contribute to these rituals. He provides detailed examples of protective measures against the Evil Eye, ranging from the adornment of children with lampblack to the use of specific names for newborns aimed at warding off bad luck. This portion sets the tone for a comprehensive investigation of local folk traditions, demonstrating how deeply ingrained these beliefs are in the social fabric of the region.
