Verrier Elwin was a young Englishman who came to India as a missionary and went on to become one of India's greatest pioneering anthropologists. This book is the diary of his life in Karanjia, a Gond village in the Maikal hills, where he settled and devoted himself to the welfare of the inhabitants of the area. Elwin combines the anthropologist's powers of observation with his own natural humor and consummate skill as a raconteur to provide a colorful account of Gond life and the efforts of the inmates of the Ashram to improve the quality of Gond life.
