Omprakash S Bone has a long-time acquaintance with the Mannewar Tribals, having researched on them in detail through census researches, a thorough perusal of their ways and customs, census references, historical and anthropological surveys.

The author attempts to bridge the gap by trying to make the tribals aware of their rights and privileges, so as to bring them out of their poverty and illiteracy, ills that keep them moored in their ignorance, especially in the states of Maharashtra, M.P. and Chhattisgarh.

This is a book that will appeal to lovers of history and to all those who strive to fight for tribal rights.
