About the Book

This book is a unique gift for the awakened and educated individuals among Santals, who feel proud of their aboriginal culture, art and literature. Simultaneously, this work is an asset for all lovers of literature in India and abroad and for all the scholars working in the areas of art, culture, civilization, literature and indology in a broader sense. The stories mainly revolving around Santali (and Munda) tribe, have been clarified into six parts, on the basis of topicality and its backdrop, which make it easier for the reader to pick up his choice in acordance with his or her interest or mood.

About the Author
CECIL HENRY BOMPAS, an orientalist, great scholar, authority on Tribal studies, was an officer in Indian Civil Service during British days.
