A GURU OF BHIL CULTURE AND ANTHROPOLOGY


BHIL CULTURE

So far there was not a single INDIAN ANTHROPOLOGIST who loved and lived among the Bhils whatsoever may be his or her motive, than Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Koppers of Vienna University, Austria. Prof. Dr. W. Koppers’ monumental works are mainly in German and English languages published in the form of books, monographs, research papers, etc. Most of his books were published from Vienna and research papers in the one of the most reputed journal of anthropology called ANTHROPOS, published from Sank Augustin, Germany.

Prof. W. Koppers monumental work for which he is internationally known much remembered till today is : DIE BHIL IN ZENTRALINDIEN which was later translated in English and published from Vienna as: Bowmen of Mid-India(1977) by L. Jungblut SVD. An Indian edition of his books and monographs is much awaited, besides the translation of the same in Hindi and some works even in Bhili the language of the place where he lived and worked as an eminent anthropologist.
