[298] Tobacco is no doubt a derivative from some American word, and Platts derives the Hindi tanbaku or tambaku from tobacco. The fact that tanbaku is also Persian for tobacco militates against the Sanskrit derivation suggested by Mr. Ganpat Rai and others, and tends to demonstrate its American importation.


[299] This article is based on papers drawn up by Mr. Hira Lal, Extra a.s.sistant Commissioner, Pyare Lal Misra, Ethnographic Clerk, and a very full account of the tribe by Mr. Ganpati Giri, Manager of Bindranawagarh, which has furnished the greater part of the article, especially the paragraphs on birth, religion and social customs.
