"The present publication is the culmination of an intensive research contributing new ideas in the arena of culture-personality relationship of two ethnic groups like the Santals and the Koras. The present work is a humble effort to highlight how the culture of a particular community helps in shaping the personality pattern which in turn may help the planner to introduce new policy in a very meaningful way. Knowledge about the psychological factors may also help to integrate different ethnic groups in understanding their problems and solutions.

This book will prove to be most useful for scholars of psychology and different disciplines of social sciences." (jacket)
