About the Book:-The author has prepared the text of the four volumes of the book in such a consistent and compact manner that keeps you in loop till the end which itself depicts its importance. The four volumes of Tribes and Castes of the North Western Provinces – the area now encompassed by Uttar Pradesh – were produced for the Raj government, as a part of the Ethnographic Survey of India project that had been initiated in 1901. Whereas Crooke was among those who believed caste to be defined by occupation, that someone was born into a community that traditionally performed work such as cow-herding or barbering. Another scholar Herbert Hope Risley believed that there was a racial definition and went to considerable lengths to collect anthropometric data to support his position. The four volumes of the book is quite informative and worth reading in the context of India history during Mughal era. About the Author :-William Crooke CIE FBA was a British orientalist and a key figure in the study and documentation of Anglo-Indian folklore. Crooke joined the Indian Civil Service. While an administrator in India, he found abundant material for his researches in the ancient civilizations of the country. He found ample time to write much on the people of India, their religions, beliefs and customs. He was also an accomplished hunter. Crooke received various honours later in life, including degrees from the universities of Oxford and Dublin and a fellowship of the British Academy.Although Crooke was a gifted administrator, his career in the ICS lasted only 25 years because of personality clashes with his superiors. He returned to England and in 1910, he was chosen to be the president of the Anthropological Section of the British Association. In 1911, having been for many years a member of the council of the Folklore Society, he was elected its president. Re-elected as president of the society in the following year, he then became the editor of its journal, Folk-lore, in 1915. He continued in this last position until his death at a nursing home in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, in 25 October 1923.
