Dasgupta was inspired by Dr. Verrier Elwin’s pioneering work with the Muria tribe in Bastar and the Saora in Ganjam during the 1940s/50s. Through his ethnographic documentation interwoven with Elwin’s and Grigson’s notes, Dasgupta provides an interesting peek into the life and culture of these tribes in transition. This book is a must-read for those seeking to appreciate the vivacity of life of these tribes that are currently in the process of rapidly fading out.
