Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces of India, Vol. 3 of 4 Marriage within the clan is forbidden and also the union of first cousins. Girls may be married at any age, and are sometimes united to husbands much younger than themselves. Four castemen of standing carry the proposal of marriage from the boy's father, and the girl's father, being forewarned, sends others to meet them. One of the ambassadors opens the conversation by saying, 'we have the milk and you have the milk-pail; let them be joined.' To which the girl's party, if the match be agreeable, will reply, Yes, we have the tamarind and you have the mango if the panckes agree let there be a marriage. The boy's father gives the girl's father five areca-nuts, and the latter returns them and they clasp each other round the neck. When the wedding pro cession reaches the bride's village it is met by their party, and one of them takes the sarota or iron nut-cutter, which the bridegroom holds in his hand, and twirls it about in the air several times. The ceremony is performed by walking round the sacred pole, and the party return to the bride groom's lodging, where his brother-ln-law fills the bride's lap with sweetmeats and water-nut as an omen of fertility. The mailiar or small wedding-cakes of wheat fried in sesamum oil are distributed to all members of the caste present at the wedding. While the bridegroom's party is absent at the bride's house, the women who remain behind enjoy amuse ments of their own. One Of them strips herself naked, tying up her hair like a religious mendicant, and is known as Baba or holy father. In this state she romps with her companions in turn, while the others laugh and applaud. Occasionally some man hides himself in a place where he can be a witness of their play, but if they discover him he is beaten severely with belnas or wooden bread-rollers. Widow-marriage and divorce are permitted, the widow being usually expected to marry her late husband's younger brother, whether he already has a wife or not. Sexual offences are not severely reprobated, and may be atoned for by a feast to the caste fellows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces of India, Vol. 4 of 4 Kumh r, Kumbh r. - The caste of potters, the name being derived from the Sanskrit kumbh, a water-pot. The Kumh rs numbered nearly 120,000 persons in the Central Provinces in 1911 and were most numerous in the northern and eastern or Hindustani-speaking Districts, where earthen vessels have greater vogue than in the south. The caste is of course an ancient one, vessels of earthenware having probably been in use at a very early period, and the old Hindu scriptures consequently give various accounts of its origin from mixed marriages between the four classical castes. "Concerning the traditional parentage of the caste," Sir H. Risley writes, "there seems to be a wide difference of opinion among the recognised authorities on the subject. Thus the Brahma Vaivartta Purana says that the Kumbhakar or maker of water-jars (kumbha), is born of a Vaishya woman by a Brahma father; the Parasara Samhita makes the father a Malakar (gardener) and the mother a Chamar; while the Parasara Padhati holds that the ancestor of the caste was begotten of a Tili woman by a Pattikar or weaver of silk cloth. Sir Monier Williams again, in his Sanskrit Dictionary, describes them as the offspring of a Kshatriya woman by a Brahman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces of India Vol. 4" is the final volume of a comprehensive study of the various tribes and castes that inhabited the central provinces of India during the colonial period. The book was written by R.V. Russell, a British civil servant and ethnographer. Volume 4 of the book focuses on the religious practices of the various tribes and castes of the region. Russell notes that religion played a central role in the lives of people in the region and had a profound impact on their social and cultural practices. He describes how the arrival of Islam and Christianity in India led to the emergence of new religious practices and syncretic beliefs. Russell also discusses the role of religion in politics and society, noting how religious identities often intersected with caste identities and influenced political allegiances. He notes that religion was often used as a tool for social and political control, particularly by the British colonial administration. Overall, "The Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces of India Vol. 4" provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of the religious practices and beliefs of the various tribes and castes of the region during the colonial period. Russell's meticulous research and detailed descriptions of religious practices continue to be studied and referenced by scholars today.
