The Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces of India is written by Rboert Vane Russell in four volumes, this being the first volume work.
This book is the result of the arrangement made by the Government of India, on the suggestion of the late Sir Herbert Risley, for the preparation of an ethnological dealing with the inhabitants of each of the principal Provinces of India. The work for the Central Provinces was entrusted to the author, and its preparation, undertaken in addition to ordinary official duties, has been spread over a number of years.
The prescribed plan was that a separate should be written of each of the principal tribes and castes, according to the method adopted in Sir Herbert Risley‘s Tribes and Castes of Bengal. This was considered to be desirable as the book is intended primarily as a work of reference for the officers of Government, who may desire to know something of the customs of the people among whom their work lies.
