uth. The fact that some Kolarian tribes closely
related by language are separated (to East and West) by
hundreds of miles, and have lost all remembrance of their
former union, favors this view of a Dravidian wedge
splitting and passing through the Kolarian mass. But all
here is guess-work. The Dravidians may have been pushed on
by Kolarians that entered later, while the latter may have
been split by the Aryan invasion; and this seems to us more
probable because the other theory does not explain why the
Kolarians did not go South instead of taking to the hills of
the East and West.]

[Footnote 3: The whole list of these tribes as given by
Cust, _Sketch of the Modern Languages of the East Indies_,
is as follows: The Kolarians include the Sunth[=a]ls,
Mund[=a]ri Koles (Koches), Kh[=a]rians, Juangs, Korwas,
Kurs, Sav[=a]ras, Mehtos, Gadabas, P[=a]h[=a]rias; the
Dravidians include the tribes called Tamil, Telugu,
Kanarese, Malay[=a]lim, Tulu, Kudagu, Toda, Kota, Khond,
Gond, Or[=a]on, R[=a]jmah[=a]li, Keik[=a]di, Yeruk[=a]la.]

[Footnote 4: The sacrifices of the wild tribes all appear to
have the object of pleasing or placating the god with food,
animal or vegetable; just as the Brahmanic sacrifice is made
to please, with the secondary thought that the god will
return the favor with interest; then that he is bound to do
so. Sin is carried away by the sacrifice, but this seems to
be merely an extension of the simpler idea; the god condones
a fault after an expression of repentance and good-will.
What lies further back is not revealed in the early texts,
though it is easy to make them fruitful in "theories of
sacrifice."]

[Footnote 5: Of course no tribe has what civilization would
call a temple, but some have what answer to it, namely, a
filthy hut where live the god and his priest. Yet the Gonds
used to build roads and irrigate very well.]

[Footnote 6: The (R[=a]j) Gonds were first subdued by the
R[=a]jputs, and where the Hindus and Gonds have intermarried
they are known as R[=a]j Gonds. Others have become the
'Mohammedan Gonds.' Otherwise, in the case of the pure or
'[=A]ssul' (the greater number), neither Hindu nor
Mohammedan has had much influence over them, either socially
or religiously. The Gonds whipped the Britis
