Life style Indian tribes : locational practice

The people of India include a very large number of primitive tribes who subsist on hunting, fishing or by simple form of agriculture. These people are called Aboriginal Tribes. The tribal groups are presumed to form the oldest ethnological sector of the national population.
There are apparent cultural differences and locational practice between the life styles of the Indian Tribes. But historically, there is a basic unity in thought and philosophy among these people, born and brought up in envi ronment of diversity through the length and breadth of the country. What these differences are? And what threads of fundamental commonness are inherent in the over all tribal system, custom and locational practice? The author has tried to answer successfully all these questions.
There are hundreds of tribes in India. Only those few tribes have been dis cussed here, whose peculiar characteristics of locational practice in general differs from other tribes. Also those tribes have been included on whom the effect of welfare schemes and the acculturization due to plain people are much visible.
This is a most comprehensive book in two volumes on locational practice of the important tribes of India. This is of prime importance to the students of anthropology and to the administrator who seeks or should seek to under stand the forces which govern human activities and it is full of charm and interest for the general reader who desire to know something at once, accurate and intelligible of the people of India.
