Excerpt from Census of India, 1901, Vol. 1: India, Ethnographic AppendicesThis volume contains in the form of Appendices the principal data upon which the caste chapter in the first volume is based. In accordance with the order of treatment adopted in that chapter the physical evidence has been set out first. It consists of summaries of measurements and diagrammatic seriations of the individual data which serve to establish the types. The social grouping comes next, followed by a general map locating the main physical types, and a number of small maps illustrating the distribution of the more important tribes and castes. Appendix IV, which occupies the greater part of the volume, comprises a number of accounts, derived from various sources, of some typical tribes and castes of the various ethnic regions. The selection has been made with the object of covering as much ground as possible, and giving within a moderate compass yet in fairly full detail a description of some of the chief constituent elements of the population of I ndia. Last of all are quoted at length the theories of caste by Mr. N esfield, Sir Denzil Ibbetson, and M. Emile Senart which have been referred to in the main chapter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
