India's Millions: A short account of the land and the people of India with a brief description of their manners and customs, social evils, religious rites ... a short account of the author's experience

Born to a Muslim family, Khan tells the story of his early conversion and subsequent persecution as a Christian, including attempts to poison and curse him. Introduction by Rev. Enoch E. Byrum, a prominent member of the Church of God Reformation, editor of The Gospel Trumpet and author of Travels and Experiences in Other Lands, What Shall I Do to Be Saved? and similar titles. In his introduction, Byrum assures readers that "being a native," Khan's extreme depictions of India are absolutely credible and true. "The author not only produces a compilation of facts from other writers, but speaks from personal knowledge, and the and the reader is assured of the reliability of what is presented."

Khan adds in his own preface, "I have not exaggerated the condition of that dark land," and writes on the caste system, subordination of women, and endemic injustice ("Such is the condition of 145,000,000 miserable souls in India, doomed to a lifelong imprisonment, leading to a life--nay, a mere shadowy existence--within the ghastly tomb of the four walls of their dismal dungeon, mistakenly called their home.")

Even with the prejudicial overtones, Khan provides a considerable breadth of information that makes distinctions between religious and ethnic groups often lumped together in Western accounts of the region. He distinguishes “Manners and Customs” among Aborigines, Dravidians, and Aryans, further delineated as Bengalis, Hindustanis, Punjabis, Mahrattas, Gujaratis, Rajputs. His Religion section addresses Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Mohammedanism, and Sikhism, and even gives a breakdown of important gods and symbols, and marks regional distinctions in Khasi Hills and Tibet.
