Description
This comprehensive ethnographic account by Henry Harkness presents a detailed exploration of the singular Aboriginal race inhabiting the summit of the Neilgherry Hills, commonly known as the Blue Mountains of Coimbatore in South India. The work offers valuable historical insights into the indigenous population’s distinctive customs, traditions, social structures, and daily practices.
Harkness’s observations provide an important documentary record of 19th-century tribal life in the Nilgiri region, covering aspects of their material culture, social organization, and interaction with the surrounding environment. The study serves as a significant ethnographic resource for understanding the indigenous peoples of the Western Ghats and their adaptation to mountainous terrain.
This hardcover edition, published by Gyan Publishing House, makes this rare historical work accessible to scholars, anthropologists, historians, and anyone interested in Indian indigenous cultures and colonial-era ethnographic studies.
