Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Anthropology of the Todas and Kotas of the Nilgiri Hills: And of the Brahmans, Kammalans, Pallis, and Pariahs of Madras City
A curious people are the Todas or Tudas, to whom the most sacred objects on this earth are a holy dairy-man (palal) and a large-horned race of semi-domesticated buffaloes, on whose milk and the products thereof (butter and ney 1) they still depend largely, though to a less extent than in bygone days, before the existence of the Ootacamund bazar, for subsistence.
