V. Russell is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. It serves as an ethnographic study that provides detailed insights into the various tribes and castes residing in the Central Provinces of India. The volume particularly focuses on the social structure, customs, and traditional practices of specific castes such as the Kumhar (potters) and Kunbi (cultivators), offering readers an extensive understanding of their cultural dynamics. The opening of the fourth volume sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of the Kumhar caste, beginning with their origins and historical significance. Russell explains the diverse accounts regarding the Kumhar's ancestry, demonstrating its complexity and the variations in perception of social hierarchy among different sources. The text elaborates on the Kumhar's occupation as potters, their social customs—such as marriage traditions and rituals associated with birth and death—and their roles within the village community. Through this detailed exploration, the beginning of the volume illustrates not just the occupational practices of the Kumhars but also their place within the broader societal framework of the Central Provinces.
