The Bhils are supposed to be inhabiting this part of the country from ancient time and their interaction with rajputs in medieval time is well known . The Bhils of Madhya Pradesh have little contact with outside population and as such they have preserved their culture and tradition over the centuries. In this work detailed account of the cultural history of the Bhils have been recorded on the basis of actual field work done by the author. Here an attempt has been made to understand the life-cycle of the Bhils through their economic activities, material way of life, social organization, world view and religion in their very natural environment.
