| Abstract | This collection of 10 documents is about the Badaga and covers the period from 1550 to the 1990s. The Badagas are the largest community in the Nilgiri Hills at the junction of Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu states in southern India. Paul Hockings authored eight of these documents, and his work covers Badaga culture from the first contact with Europeans in the early 1800s up to 1995. His strengths are a thorough analysis of social organization and structure, including kinship, marriage and their associated rituals. Two early sources (Thurston 1909, and Sastri 1891-1892) provide overviews of selected aspects of Badaga society and culture. |
