The book explores a crucial dimension of Indian History: the politics of wildness. It suggests that wildness was affirmed in various ways by early nineteenth-century forest communities as a way of challenging upper caste vaues. With colonial rule, wildness was marginalized leading to a new identity, adivasi.
