This book completes Lewis' trilogy on South-East Asia. Lewis undertook a 2500-mile search to find old India - beginning in the feudal states of Bihar and Orissa. He then took refuge in the mountains of the east, investigating the customs of the bow-and-arrow tribal peoples living there.
This book completes Lewis' trilogy on South-East Asia. Lewis undertook a 2500-mile search to find the old India as described by early travellers - beginning in the feudal states of Bihar and Orissa, where a brutal caste war between untouchables and higher caste gangs was going on. He then took refuge in the mountains of the east, investigating the extraordinary customs of some of the three million bow-and-arrow tribal peoples who have survived there. Lewis noted that even in this isolated area of the world, the modernization of India is catching up. This book is the sequel to "A Dragon Apparent" and "Golden Earth".
