Summary: "The Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces of India, Volume 2" by R. V. Russell is a detailed ethnographic study written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a comprehensive account of various tribes and castes in the Central Provinces of India, compiling information on their social structures, customs, occupations, and village life. It aims to elucidate the complexities of these communities, considering their historical backgrounds and social relations. At the start of this volume, Russell introduces readers to the Agaria caste, linking them to the Gond tribe and explaining their traditional role as iron-workers.
