The Vedas.
Passing on to the religion of the country Mr. Vaidya said that was the most debated aspect of Indian life. One of the many points dealt with by him was the Vedas, which consisted of four books dealing with, (1) social and political science; (2) religion and vic- tuals; (3) knowledge of wealth; and (4) musle, singing and fine aria. Each of these books had 27 commentaries. Mr. Vaidya said that there were also various book |on.mythology which were designed to assist the people in "understand= ing the main precepts of the books. Transmigration of Bouls also played an important part in the religious teaching of the Hindus. It was not true that the Hindu be- lieved in the existence of 鼈 multitude of gods. An examina- tion of the teaching would show that that the reilglon really taught the axistence of one Supreme Being.
The position of mon and women in society was also a much debated question. The social custom wan so designed that women wer supreme in the house and the mes In outside affairs.

Referring to the question widow re-marriago Mr. Vaidya said this had been prohibited for a very long time, since the daya of the inter-State wars. By not per- mitting the widowa to re-marry the other women were given a chance. There were, however, cor- tuin cases when re-marriage was allowed.
In conclusion Mr. Vaidya appeal- ed to those present to understand
