The author’s efforts in investigating the customs and beliefs of the LHOTA Tribe have succeeded in portraying this Tribe in the right perspective in their beautiful hill country in which the LHOTA lived. The LHOTAS are far from inhospitable and have been misjudged by those who have never penetrated to the real intimacy which would have ended in a very mutual esteem. The author during the three and a half year in which he has had to decide their disputes and deal with the LHOTAs in various ways could fully gain their confidence — without it this book could not have been written— and has found them very pleasant companions particularly on the river or in the jungle.
