The book "Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces of India, Volume 2" was created by Robert Wayne Russell, an English anthropologist and Indianologist. In the second volume of this work, the author continues to consider the social structure, culture and traditions of the tribes and castes of the Central Provinces of India. The book describes in detail various aspects of the life of the Indian population, its customs, beliefs and social arrangements. Russell successfully combined anthropological analysis with ethnographic data, making this work a valuable source for the study of Indian culture and society. The book is recommended for researchers of cultural studies, ethnography and other specialists interested in Indian history and anthropology.
