Two women and a Man of the Sansi Tribe - Delhi District 1863

The wandering tribes of India form a very remarkable feature of its population...They have been vagrants from the earliest periods of Indian history...Among these tribes the Sanseeas occupy a place of pre-eminent notoriety...They are admitted to no other caste fellowship, ministered to by no priests, without any ostensible calling or profession, ... no settled place of residence whatever; they wander as they please over the land.
