Summary "Castes and Tribes of Southern India. Vol. 2 of 7" by Edgar Thurston is an ethnographic study written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a detailed collection of information regarding various castes and tribes in Southern India, examining their customs, social structures, and cultural practices. The text aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex social fabric of the region during that time period. The opening of the volume introduces various castes, such as the Canji, Chacchadi, and Chakkiliyan, detailing their societal roles and characteristics. For instance, the Chakkiliyans are described as leather workers at the lowest rung of the caste hierarchy, with a range of customs from marriage practices to the specifics of their profession. The section outlines social norms, rituals, and physical traits associated with different groups, setting the stage for a thorough exploration of the sociocultural dynamics within Southern India. This foundational portion establishes the importance of caste identity and cultural heritage, engaging readers interested in anthropology, sociology, and history.
