That a similarity underlay local diversities of British society in India during the early 19th century is shown by Bernard S. Cohn's description of the British in Benares. A century ago, George F. Atkinson, in his Curry and Rice, observed:Let me remind you that, while there are numerous races, each with a different creed, caste, and language, so there are customs and manners peculiar to each: and this variety is not confined to the natives; for the habits and customs of social life among the English in India likewise present their petty diversities; and the 'Qui Hye' of Bengal, the 'Mull' of Madras, and the 'Duck' of Bombay, adhere to and defend their own customs with jealous warmth of feeling ... but there are [some ways of life] such as are common to the whole of India
