Book Description
About the Book
The Kodaku, one of the little known Mundari speaking Scheduled Tribes of Central India live in Pal, Samri, and Surajpur Tahasils of Surguja District of Madhya Pradesh. The book gives an ethnogra- phic account of the Kodaku based on the data gathered as part of the project, "Area Study: Chhattisgarh".

Due to the pressures of modernization and contact, tribal life and cultures are changing very fast. An attempt, therefore, has been made through this study to record facts of life of the people in as much detail as possible in order to keep track of trends of change that the life and culture of the Kodaku have been sub- jected to.
