The Original Inhabitants of Bharatavarsa or India" by Gustav Oppert is a scholarly exploration of the early inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent. The book delves into historical, linguistic, and ethnological studies to trace the origins and cultural evolution of ancient Indian civilizations. As a Professor of Sanskrit and Comparative Philology at Presidency College, Madras, Oppert employs rigorous philological and anthropological methods to analyze the ethnic and linguistic diversity of India. His research sheds light on the indigenous populations, their traditions, and their interactions with later settlers. This reprint, part of the Salmon Books collection, revives a rare and significant historical work, making it accessible to researchers, historians, and enthusiasts of South Asian history.
