What it's about

The Ethnology of India by George Campbell explores the diverse ethnic and social composition of India under British rule. Campbell, a British administrator and ethnographer, categorized Indian communities by race, caste, language, and customs. His work reflects the colonial mindset of classifying and governing through division, often reinforcing stereotypes. Though outdated and biased by modern standards, the book remains historically significant for understanding colonial perceptions of Indian society during the 19th century
