Abstract:
The Gond collection covers a broad range of ethnographic topics dating from approximately 1854 to 2006, with an emphasis on the Gond tribes of Bastar State. The primary document in this collection is Grigson dealing with the general ethnography of the Maria Gond, particularly the Hill and Bison Horn Maria tribal groups. Grigson's data are further supplemented by the ethnographic description of Gond cultural life in Fuchs, and in Elwin. The Grigson's, Elwin's, and Fuchs' studies, however, are limited in time depth to the early and mid-twentieth century. Other topics of ethnographic interest are: the description and analysis of the ghotul, a communal dwelling where the young people of the Gond villages live; murder and suicide among the Bison Horn Maria; genealogical studies of the Gond people in Bastar State; and sociocultural changes in Orcha village introduced by the Indian government
