Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex social and anthropological makeup of the indigenous tribes and castes of India, as documented and analyzed in the early 20th century. The author presents comprehensive data on physical characteristics collected from thousands of individuals, which he then sets against qualitative descriptions of the groups' traditions, social customs, and religious beliefs. Not merely a catalog of observations, the book offers deep insights into India's extraordinarily diverse social and cultural landscape, revealing patterns of migration, inter-group relationships, and historical influences that shaped the development of these communities. By meticulously recording the details of a fast-changing society at the turn of the century, the author provides a detailed account that would prove invaluable to anyone interested in the history or anthropology of India and its peoples.
