Abstract
Christoph von Furer-Haimendorf has spent over 50 years studying the tribal populations of India and Nepal. One of the first scholars to witness and survive the head-hunting rituals of the Konyak Nagas of the Naga Hills, he has subsequently made social and cultural studies of tribes as varied as the hunters of the Andhra Pradesh forests, the farmers of the Eastern Ghats, and the nomadic Sherpas and Bhotias of the Himalayas. During the Raj, he also played a prominent role in preserving the tribal economies of northern Hyderabad by preventing the alientation of the Gonds from their lands, and the book offers many insights into the British administration of tribal regions.
