From the Foreword: "This book is divided into two parts. While the first part deals with the place names and personal names, the second part deals with the dictionary of place names and personal names. In many respects these two aspects are complimentary to each other and hence this volume is going to be of immense value to scholars such as linguists, folklorists, anthropologists and general readers.

The efforts of Anthropological Survey of India is to extend the earlier venture in different communities in more details as well as to present a connotative dictionary on place names and personal names which may explore a new dimension in the linguistic research in the country."
