*[https://archive.org/details/frompunjaubpome00dyso/page/n7/mode/2up ''From a Punjaub Pomegranate Grove''] by C C Dyson 1913. Archive.org. The author was possibly the wife of Bob, an Assistant Revenue Collector, and Magistrate, at Hariana, in the "Punjaub irrigation colonies". (Page 68 refers to the author as "the lady of our English Sahib", which generally refers to a wife, however she appears to be middle-aged and perhaps an Assistant Revenue Collector is more likely to be a younger man, so for Bob to be a son or younger brother would suit the narrative better. Details of the author could not be traced.) Republished in 1985 and 1993 under the title ''Fragments from Indian Life''. From the contents, the approximate period covered is 1908-1912, however the narrative may not be strictly chronological. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hariana Hariana] Wikipedia.
