Scope and content This collection of 8 documents, all in English, deal with a population that comprises the third largest (after the Gond and Santals) and most widely distributed ethnic group in India. Two major studies of traditional Bhil ethnography will be found in Naik and Nath. Naik's work deals with the Rajpipla and Western Khandesh regions of western India, while Nath's is concerned with the Ratanmal area of northwestern India. Both of these documents however are limited in time depth, covering culture history and ethnography only through the mid 1950s. More recent studies deal largely with problems of culture change and effects of acculturation on the society, as indicated in Doshi, Hooda, and Ram. Other major topics deal with marriage in conflict with the Indian Penal Code (Singh), and the status and position of women in terms of changing cultural perspectives (Mann).
