Summary: This Chenchu man is mixing dough for making chapatis, a food borrowed from neighbouring peasant populations. While Furer-Haimendorf spent most of his time among the roughly 400 Chenchus living as hunter-gatherers on the Amrabad Plateau, most Chenchus (about 3,000) lived in villages in the plains, where this photograph was taken. Chenchus lived near but were not integrated into the social life of these villages (dominated by Telugu peasant castes).
