The Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces of India, Volume 4
The fourth and last volume of R. V. Russell's Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces of India, prepared with Rai Bahadur Hira Lal and published in 1916, continues the alphabetical series of descriptive articles from the Kumhar potters and the Kunbi cultivators of Berar to the castes at the end of the alphabet. Each article follows a standard pattern, with traditions of origin, subdivisions, rules of marriage, birth and funeral customs, religion, dress, food, occupation and social standing, and Russell, the superintendent of ethnography for the province, pauses often for comparative discussion, as in his pages on the pig in sacrifice, the buffalo as corn-god. Photographs of crafts, ceremonies and daily work illustrate the volume. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
