Lieutenant Governor of the Punjab and its Dependencies, and of the Hon'ble Mr. Edward Douglas Macia gan, C.S.I., now Secretary to the Government of India in the Revenue Department. Sir Denzil Ibbetsnn's Report on the Punjab Census of 1881. This Glossary embodies some of the materials collected in the Ethnographic Survey of India which was begun in 1900, under the scheme initiated by Sir Herbert Risley, K.C.I.E., C.S.I., but it has no pretensions to finality. The compiler's aim has been to collect facts and record them in the fullest possible detail withoutformulating theories as to the racial elements which have made the population of the modern Punjab, the growth of its tribes or the evolution of caste. For information regarding the various theories which have been suggested on those topics the reader may be referred to the works of Sir Alexander Cunning ham, Bellew and Nesfield.

In the certain districts of the North India list of Agricultural Tribes have been compiled by D.E.O.S. for admini strative purposes. In connection with the working of the Punjab Alienation of Land Act (Punjab Act XIII of 1990) and this lists have been in corporated in the present Glossary for facility of reference.
