註釋The present book is an addition to the ethnographic studies made by the scholars on Indian tribes since the pre-independence days.This book envisages a holistic study of the Bhils, a major tribe, inhabiting in Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. The Bhils are supposed to be inhabiting this part of the country from ancient time and their interaction with Rajputs in medieval time is well known.The Bhils of Madhya Pradesh have little contact with outside population and as such they have preserved their culture and tradition over the centuries. In this work detailed account of the cultural history of the Bhils have been recorded on the basis of actual field-work done by the author.Here an attempt has been made to understand the life-cycle of the Bhils through their economic activities, material way of life, social organisation, world view and religion in their very natural environment. This book also gives some idea about the impact of the nature in shaping the culture of the Bhils.
