Abstract
HIS is a report from fieldwork in progress on an Indian tribe, the Santal, in the industrial setting of Jamshedpur, site of the largest and earliest industrial producer of iron and steel in India, as well as of a number of associated industries. What mywife and I are attempting to observe are the effects of Jamshedpur's urban and industrial milieu on traditional Santal culture. In the widest theoretical sense, our study is meant to be at least a contribution of data toward the solution of the general problem of the relation between economic activity on the one hand, and noneconomic social and cultural patterns on the other. I also hope that the study might prove applicable in providing for the welfare of the Santals and other closely related Mundari speaking tribals, and forward the development of industry in this area, so rich in natural resources.
