About the Book

: In this book, the author explores the rich and vibrant existence of the Wild Races residing in South-Eastern India, emerging from the flat expanse of Chittagong District, now located in Bangladesh, and expanding into a vast region of rugged hills and mountains inhabited by diverse hill tribes. The author thoroughly explores various aspects, including the region's climate, bustling bazars where these tribes exchanged their goods for essential items like salt, spices, and dried fish, typically found in the plains. Additionally, the book provides insights into the local flora and fauna, particularly valuable forest trees and medicinal plants, along with an examination of bamboo and cane varieties and their cultivation techniques, such as the distinctive Jhum cultivation method, which involves slash-and-burn agriculture. Moreover, the author delves into the intricate fabric of community life among these hill tribes, shedding light on their interactions with the British and the exploitation they faced from Hindu mahajan. The book delves into the tribes' origins, often traced back to Burmese roots, exploring their customs, religious beliefs, festivals, attire, marriage ceremonies, social norms, and language. About The Author: Thomas Herbert Lewin (1839-1916) was a British administrator and writer known for his significant contributions in India. He began his career as a cadet at Addiscombe Military College and served in various roles during the Indian Mutiny campaigns. In 1861, he became District Superintendent of Police in Rampur Bandleah, later moving to Noacolly and Chittagong. His exceptional administrative skills made him beloved by local tribes. He authored books about the region's culture and languages. Returning to England in 1874 due to ill health, he married Margaret Elliot and returned to India. He continued his administrative work and authored more books before retiring in 1879. The Title 'Wild Races of South-Eastern India written/authored/edit
