Abstract
PROF. G. S. GHURYE, head of the Department of Sociology in the University of Bombay, here examines the position of primitive tribes in India and the question of their administration. He goes into their position with reference to their classification by the Census of India separately from Hindus and other religious divisions, and into the question of their relationship with Hindus proper; he examines their treatment by the Government of India, and by the British Parliament; he examines the reports, and recommendations, which anthropologists have made in regard to them; and finally he states the problem which, in his opinion, the present condition of the hill and forest tribes presents.
