Summary, etc. This book tells the story of an extraordinary individual who helped reshape the course of Indian history.<br/>Verrier Elwin (1902-64) was unquestionably the greatest scholar of India's tribal peoples. His ethnographic studies and popular books on tribal custom, art, myth and folklore were pathbreaking for anthropology and for creating an awareness of cultural diversity.<br/>Elwin was a champion of the rights of forest communities to lead their own distinc tive ways of life. Despite the deep influence of St Francis and Mahatma Gandhi on his early career, he staunchly opposed Hindu and Christian puritans during a protracted debate on the future of India's tribals. Later, as Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's friend and advisor in independent India, Elwin's eloquent defense of tribal hedonism made him at once hugely influential, extremely controversial, and the polemical centrepoint of numerous discussions on tribal policy and economic development.
