Publisher's Synopsis
This is a vast and magnificent work about the peoples of the land of India, in all its diverse cultural strands and traditions. The range does not even leave out the ehtnography of neighboring countries with intensive interaction with India such as Sri Lanka and Nepal. Many classical works are included in this enormous series of works such as Chandler on Tibet, Martin on Eastern India, Metcalf on Rajput tribes and Dutta on wild tribes, and this type of work is trend setting and perhaps the first of its kind in India.
