Book Description

Demographic Study of Primitive Tribe: A Comparative Framework, by Dr. Ranjan Kumar Biswas, is an academic work that focuses on the demographic characteristics, social structure, and population dynamics of tribal communities. The book approaches tribal demography through a comparative framework, examining how factors such as population size, growth, fertility, mortality, migration, age-sex composition, family structure, and socio-economic conditions influence the demographic profile of indigenous and tribal populations.

The study is particularly useful for understanding the relationship between demographic change and socio-cultural transformation among tribal communities. A comparative approach allows different tribal populations or communities to be examined in relation to one another, highlighting variations in their patterns of population growth, marriage, fertility, mortality, education, occupation, and livelihood.
