Abstract
THIS 'brief conspectus' is for students, and assumes in its readers some knowledge of India and anthropology. Dr. Hutton claims no novelty, and draws freely on the accounts of Blunt and O'Malley (1931–32) and on his own Census Report of 1931, two important extracts from which, on 'untouchables' and on primitive religion, are reproduced in extenso as appendixes.
