Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the aboriginal tribes of India, specifically the Gonds who reside in the present-day Central Provinces of the country. The author, a Scottish missionary who spent nearly two decades working closely with the Gonds, compiles a historical and cultural account of the Gond way of life, their religious beliefs and social customs. The book is a product of extensive research conducted by the author through tours and meetings with the tribes, including educated natives connected with the mission, officers, and other Europeans who had contact with these tribes. Furthermore, the author incorporates information from various literary sources on aboriginal races in India and elsewhere. The work is significant in its contribution to the understanding of the origins and characteristics of aboriginal communities, particularly the Gond tribe, in the context of Indian history.
