The People of India project, a massive research project of the Anthropological Survey of India, has generated a wealth of information on the hundreds of communities, castes, and tribes which exist in this country. The subjects covered include culture, society, location, language, script, biological variation, educational level, impact of development, food habits, rituals, and work practices. The present volume comprises all the material which was collected on the existing biological information available for nearly 900 Indian communities.
