De auteur ontwikkelde een grote interesse in de Indiase cultuur tijdens zijn studententijd in Oxford. Na zijn aankomst in India in 1927 dompelde hij zich onder in het leven van de stamgemeenschappen, om hun levensstijlen en culturele praktijken diepgaand te begrijpen. Door talrijke monografieën en boeken over Indiase stammen bood hij onschatbare inzichten in hun unieke tradities en gebruiken, wat een aanzienlijke bijdrage leverde aan het etnografische veld.

Verrier Elwin wrote this book to show the people of Britain the situation in India as it appeared in the early 1930s. His book, first published in 1932 and full of valuable insights into India at the time as well as the British public's ignorance of the facts on the ground, is a powerful presentation of events of the time and an appeal to the people of Britain to face their responsibilities.
