These two volumes make a comprehensive and analytic anthropological study of 63 major primitive tribes of India in an alphabetical order. Attention has been paid to the significant aspects of the identity of the primitive tribes. These are mainly statutory positions, surnames, tribe s ethnic identity, distribution of population, family and clan, language and literacy, life cycle and related customs, dress, ornaments, food habits , traditional occupations, religious beliefs, festivals, social change and mobility.These volumes will be useful for bureaucrats, planners, anthropologists, teachers and students in India and abroad. The material on these primitive tribes has deep bearing on micro-study gathered from the writings of the reputed academicians. The Bibliography with regard to these volumes is fairly comprehensive. An effort has been made not to leave any old and new publication without giving it proper recognition in these tribes.Vol. 1 : Encyclopaedia of Primitive Tribes of India, Vol. 2 : Encyclopaedia of Primitive Tribes of India

The present work attempts to identify spatial patterns fo the extent and nature of language shifts among the tribal population in India. It provides social, economic and political dimensions of changing linguistic identity. Based on both secondary and primary data, some of the socio-economic variables have been statistically tested through Correlation and Regression to determine the relationship with language shifts. The impact of urbanisation and regional development on the linguistic behaviour of the tribal population has been analysed.The study rejects the claim that language shift indicates the process of integration--rather it shows the process of assimilation of the tribal people into the majority culture group. In fact, language shifts among these societies have been perceived more often as social compulsions.The study emphasises the need of promoting and preserving the tribal languages as these are cultural heritage of India. The study may provide a basis to understand the dynamics of language shift--as it might have implications of language planning in multilingual societies like India.
