Description
This seminal work by Captain T. H. Lewin offers a comprehensive examination of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, a region in present-day Bangladesh known for its rugged terrain and culturally rich populations. The book documents the lives, customs, and traditions of the various tribal groups inhabiting these hills during the colonial period.
Lewin’s meticulous observations provide valuable insights into the social structures, agricultural practices, and spiritual beliefs of the hill dwellers. The narrative captures the unique characteristics of each tribal community while exploring their interactions with the broader colonial administration. This ethnographic record serves as an important historical resource for understanding the region’s indigenous peoples and their way of life.
The work remains essential reading for those interested in South Asian history, anthropology, and the colonial period’s impact on indigenous communities.
