Item description from seller

22x14cm, 142 pp. Social anthropological study of bonded labour among the Kolta people of Garhwal Himalaya in present-day Uttarakhand. ["This book is about the life & fate of the Kolta - a menial caste group - living in abject poverty at the virtual mercy of high caste landlords, who exploit them like serfs and keep them bonded in slavery-like conditions. The exploitation is perpetuated by the normative structure of society in remote mountain ranges of the cis-Himalayas. The subjugation of the Kolta is not only economic but also extends to holding the Kolta people as a corpus in bondage. This process begins as an economic transaction - a loan taken by a Kolta from a high caste landlord under the cultural and ecological conditions results in servitude for not only the borrower but his generations to come" - dustwrapper]. Minor rubbing. VG. In a torn, chipped & rubbed dustwrapper.
