This book also covers courses prescribed in Anthropology for P.C.S. and I.AS. examinations. The material for this book has been collected from authentic sources : works of eminent anthropologists, reports of researches on Indian tribes and Government data published in various books, reports and journals. At the end of the book Objective Questions Bank has been given particularly for those readers who are appearing at P.C.S. or I.A.S. examination. Selected Bibliography has been divided into two classes. While the first includes books on General Anthropology, the second is a comprehensive list of books published on Tribal Studies in India.
