Excerpt from The Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, 1843, Vol. 7 Many tribes, inhabiting principally the forests and mountains of the country, have either not succumbed to its authority, or refrained from receiving its doctrines and rites, without great concessions being made to their original superstitions and observances. The situation of these tribes, forming part as they do of the great family of man, would in any circumstances be worthy of investigation; for few will dissent from the opinion of the eloquent and philosophic Hall, the whatever tends to render our acquaintance with any portion of our species more accurate and profound, is an accession to the most valuable part of our knowledge. There are peculiar circumstances, however, which recommend them to attention. On several occasions they have made irruptions into the more peaceable portions of the British and native territory, and have not retreated to their wilds without inflicting extensive injury on life and property, and in some instances, as in the case of the Bhils and Coles, without requiring the intervention of an armed force. They have not yet been permitted, in any considerable degree, to share in the bounty which the benevolence of our country has furnished for the instruction of the people of this land. Much, in many districts, remains to be done to inspire them with the love of a productive and self-rewarding industry. The question of permitting, under a temporary contract, their emigration to the colonies, till lately cultivated by the labour of the slave, or protecting them from every enticement to form engagements which they can but little under stand, and which are to be implemented in a foreign land, is at present pending before the British Parliament.
