This work is the first large scale bibliography on the tribes of Madhya Pradesh. It puts together, in one volume information about the material on history (A.D. 1213 to A.D. 1985), anthropology, sociology, geography, economics, genetics, literature, linguistics, and folklore of the tribals of Madhya Pradesh available in Indian and foreign languages and dialects. It is a unique attempt at making available the information about valuable works of all kinds lying scattered in current as well as out-of-print and out-of-reach rare books, manuscripts, periodicals etc. in different libraries in India and abroad. About 1600 references included in this volume refer to one aspect or the other related to the tribes of Madhya Pradesh. Researchers and scholars of various disciplines will find this work useful for their intellectual pursuits. However, it will be of particular value for those whose concern is linguistics and anthropology.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR H L Shukla

H.L. Shukla (b. 1939) has created, and for forty years he has dominated the field of Indology and modern linguistics. By any criterion Shuklaâ€™s achievement is vast: he has published about seventy books and hundreds of articles. His mastery of a huge literature is awe-inspiring: in current affairs, in linguistics, history, archaeology: anthropology, sociology, psychology, folklorology. He doesnâ€™t believe in heroes, but it is not surprising that for many he has become one. And there can be little disagreement that he has fulfilled his expressed hope that â€œIâ€™ve done something decent with my lifeâ€. Dr. Shukla served as Professor and Head Department of Languages and Culture at Barkatullah University, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Currently he is engaged in Cultural Thesaurus of India.
