Wild Races Of South-eastern India — Historical Context & Critical Overview
Original Author: Thomas Herbert Lewin | Booksmuggler Archival Series
First published in 1870, 'Wild Races of South-Eastern India' stands as one of the most authoritative 19th-century ethnographic treatises on the Chittagong Hill Tracts and the greater Bengal-Burma frontier. Written during Captain T. H. Lewin's tenure as Deputy Commissioner, the volume documents firsthand field encounters with the Chakma, Marma, Lushai, Tripura, and Bawm indigenous communities.
Lewin provides detailed records of tribal governance, customary legal codes, indigenous spiritual rituals, and oral folklore, while analyzing imperial frontier defense strategies and peace pacts. The Booksmuggler archival facsimile reproduces the original volume with pristine fidelity, retaining historic geographical references and linguistic glossaries.
Printed on acid-free 80 GSM Swedish book offset paper and bound in royal hardcover, this edition is an essential addition to any South Asian history collection, research library, or connoisseur's bookshelf.
