What it's about

The Aboriginal Tribes of the Nilgiri Hills by W. Ross King (1822–1890) is an important ethnographic study of the indigenous communities inhabiting the Nilgiri Hills of South India, including the Todas, Kotas, Kurumbas, and Irulas. Drawing from firsthand observation, King details their customs, beliefs, social structures, and interaction with the environment. His work reflects a 19th-century colonial anthropological approach and serves as a valuable historical record of these tribes during a period of significant social and cultural change under British rule.
