Description
About The Book: The People of India is a comprehensive work by Sir Herbert Hope Risley, published in the late 19th century. It is a detailed anthropological study of the diverse ethnic, cultural, and social groups of India. Risley, a British colonial officer, cataloged the distinct physical features, customs, languages, and traditions of various Indian communities. The book reflects the colonial perspective of its time, categorizing people based on race and class. Despite its controversial and outdated methodology, The People of India remains an important historical document, shedding light on the complex social fabric of colonial India.
