Ibbetson, Denzil
Panjab Caste : Races, caste and Tribes of the People of Panjab by Denzil Ibbetson - New Delhi: Manohar, 2024. - xiv,338p.
Denzil Ibbetson’s work on the Panjab Castes is an extremely systematic and clearly arranged work. Every caste, from highest to the lowest classes of aborigines and outcastes is reviewed in much detail. It is indeed the first attempt to give anything like a general survey of the castes and tribes as they existed in the Panjab. The work is in the main not only statistical but is a masterpiece in the field of social anthropology. The author gives the pedigree of the castes, tracing where they sprang from. The author's style is throughout glowing and picturesque, his descriptions vivid and powerful. This work is a part of the Report on the Census of Panjab Province carried out in 1881 and has been recognized as one of the most remarkable official publications of India.
