This volume is the first comprehensive and systematic account of India's 456 tribal communities, including the 179 segments distributed in many parts of the country. Exploring how they have been increasingly influenced by "development" processes, particularly education and medicine, this work considers culture, society, location, language, script, biological variation, educational level, impact of development, food habits, and rituals and work practices on each of these tribal communities. It will be especially interesting for anthropologists and students of Indian development.Singh, K. S. is the author of 'Scheduled Tribes Vol. III', published 1995 under ISBN 9780195632552 and ISBN 0195632559.
