Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
Présentation de l'éditeur
Athenians went about hearing or telling of some new thing. I think, therefore, that no apology is needed in introducing toE nglish readers races of people of whom but little is known, and whose habits and customs have never before been described. The mighty empire of Hindostan is now bound up by a hundred ties of interest with the present and future of England.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book transports the reader to the fascinating and little-known world of the Chittagong Hill Tracts in southeastern India, offering a glimpse into the lives and customs of the hill tribes who inhabited this region during the 1860s. The author, a keen observer and skilled storyteller, draws upon his personal experiences and knowledge gleaned from local traditions to paint a vivid picture of the people and their unique way of life. The book delves into the intricate details of their social structure, rituals, and modes of subsistence, focusing particularly on their agricultural practices, which included a form of slash-and-burn cultivation known as "joom." The book's exploration of the hill tribes' culture is interwoven with a fascinating account of the region's turbulent history, charting the influence of various powers, including the Portuguese, who established themselves in the area in the 17th century. Through insightful anecdotes and historical accounts, the author reveals the complex interactions between the hill tribes and these foreign entities, highlighting the challenges and opportunities that arose from this encounter. A central theme explored in the book is the contrasting perspectives on the hill tribes held by those from the "civilized" world, particularly the British. The author challenges the prevailing view of the hill people as "savages" and "barbarians," demonstrating that their customs and practices are intricately tied to their environment and have a deep cultural significance. The book's observations offer a nuanced and compassionate understanding of these people, prompting readers to consider the complexities of intercultural relationships and the importance of appreciating diverse cultural traditions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330481264_0
