The Hill Tracts of Arakan is a historical book written by W. Gwynne Hughes in 1881. The book provides a comprehensive account of the geography, history, and culture of the Hill Tracts region of Arakan, which is located in present-day Myanmar. The Hill Tracts region is known for its rugged terrain, diverse ethnic groups, and rich cultural heritage. The book begins with an overview of the geography of the region, including its mountains, rivers, and forests. It then delves into the history of the Hill Tracts, tracing the region’s development from prehistoric times to the present day. The author discusses the various ethnic groups that have inhabited the area over the centuries, including the Arakanese, the Chakmas, and the Mros. The Hill Tracts of Arakan also provides a detailed account of the customs, traditions, and religious practices of the people who live in the region. The author describes their daily lives, their social organization, and their economic activities, including agriculture, hunting, and fishing. He also discusses their spiritual beliefs, which are a unique blend of Buddhism, Hinduism, and animism. In addition to its historical and cultural content, The Hill Tracts of Arakan also includes detailed maps and illustrations that help readers visualize the region and its people. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Southeast Asia, and it remains a classic work of ethnography and travel writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
