"Described by his contemporaries as a cross between Albert Schweitzer and Paul Gauguin, Elwin was a man of contradictions, at times taking on the role of evangelist, social worker, political activist, poet, government worker, and more. Intensely political, the Oxford-trained scholar tirelessly defended the rights of the indigenous and despite the deep religious influences of St.

Verrier Elwin’s essential humanism, theological training, and Gandhian outlook make his work truly distinct. Credited for unveiling before the world the great civilization of India’s tribal communities, Elwin’s work is essential to any discussion on anthropological writing in India. The Oxford India Elwin, part of the prestigious Oxford India Collection, draws from a wide range of Elwin’s writings. Combining autobiographical and scholarly writing, and embellished with more than one hundred photographs and illustrations, this detailed yet eminently readable volume offers a tantalizing glimpse into India’s rich and varied tribal culture. From the jungles of Madhya Pradesh, where the story begins, this book follows Elwin through Bastar and Orissa to the North-east where he eventually settles. A useful reference to the best of Elwin for those already familiar with his work, this book will also introduce interested readers to the charm of his writing and to a fascinating world that is fast disappearing.

From presenting, in Elwin's own words, the account of his going to work among the tribal peoples of central India, to affording glimpses of his seminal work on the unique institution of the ghotul among the Murias of Bastar, or relating Elwin's attempts at understanding the high incidence of murder and suicide among the Bison-horn Marias of Bastar, The Oxford India Elwin looks beyond the general and the oft-repeated to include within its covers the many fascinating discoveries that Verrier Elwin made while working among the different tribal communities in India. While the Introduction to Folk Songs of the Maikal Hills discusses the principles of translating folk poetry, the importance of the elements of nature, magic, the supernatural, and song and dance in tribal life is highlighted through selections from The Myths of Middle India. Whether providing glimpses of Elwin's travels in the remote Northeast, or discussing the effects of 'civilization' on tribal art, or describing the Naga people and their customs, or presenting the myths of the NEFA region, the effort is to bring the man, his thoughts and actions, the contributions he made towards upholding and preserving the cultural diversity of the Subcontinent, closer to readers through a single volume which will be both accessible and affordable. The book will be a valuable addition to the Oxford India Collection which includes the writings of Ghalib, Premchand, Ramanujan, Nehru, and Gandhi. Armed with a useful and perceptive Introduction by G.N. Devy, this edition will appeal to all those who know and adore Elwin, as also students and researchers of anthropology, cultural studies, and Indian history.
