| Summary | "The Kacháris" by the late Rev. Sidney Endle is a comprehensive ethnographic and anthropological account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the culture, social structures, and traditions of the Kachári people, a tribal group predominantly found in Assam and its surrounding areas. It aims to shed light on their characteristics, lifestyle, customs, and historic connections with other communities, offering insights into a community often overlooked by mainstream studies. The opening of the work introduces the Kachári people, detailing their distinctive physical and moral traits, their clannish nature, and their agricultural lifestyle. It describes aspects of their domestic life, including housing, communal labor in agriculture, diet, and the importance of rice-beer as a cultural staple. Additionally, Endle hints at the complexities of their social organization and the intricacies of their moral values, suggesting a race that, despite being semi-savage in its customs, possesses a profound sense of community and ethical conduct shaped by both tradition and the influence of their environment.
