This work ‘The Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces of India’ as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization and presents an ethnological account dealing with the inhabitants of the region as well as contains the articles on religions and sects as being necessary to render it a complete ethnological account of the population. Scholars believe that this work is important enough to be preserved, reproduced and made generally available to the readers. As a reproduction of a historical artifact, this work may contain missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. Quite understandably a lot of further research must have taken place during the succeeding years. Since this work still maintains its highly authoritative and reference value, the present venture is to make it available, as a ready reference, to the reading public, especially to scholars and research students.
