Description

About the book:- This work is of a practical character and aims to be a description of the actual circumstances of the tribes and castes that it notices. Benaras, being the religious HIndu India, is the most appropriate city for the study of the different customs of the vast range of people that make a pilgrimage there. This book is in four parts that contains 50 chapters. The first part, which has 17 chapters, and notices the Brahmanical tribes like: the Sarjuparia, the Bhuinhar, the Jijhotia, the Gaur Saraswat, the Dravida tribes, etc. Section 2 is on the Kshatriya or Rajpoot tribes, and they include: Gahlots, Tomars, Kachhwahas, Parmaras, Yadus, Bais, Mahror, Chendelas, Gaurs, Raghubansi, etc. Section 3 is on mixed castes and tribes, which include: religious mendicants, bards and musicians, traders, jewellers, agricultural castes, weavers, etc. Section 4 covers aboriginal tribes, and the castes described are of gypsies, rope dancers, snake charmers, leather workers, watchmen, etc. There are five illustrations in this book, four of which, curiously, are of bearded figures. This book is a reprint of the 1872 edition.
