At the start of this volume, Russell introduces readers to the Agaria caste, linking them to the Gond tribe and explaining their traditional role as iron-workers. He goes into detail about their marriage customs, social structure, and religious beliefs, including diverse practices surrounding birth, death, and occupations.
