Since the connections in that monograph are ambiguous, I use the Khond experience to show the dynamic nature of the swiddening cycles.

As he wrote: ‘In Baiga society, the women enjoyed an excellent position. Theoretically, in so patriarchal and priestly a tribe, man should be in the ascendant: actually, women have great freedom and no little authority. She may go about on her alone; she generally chooses her own husband, and changes him at will; she may dance in public; she may take her wares to a bazaar and open her own shop there, she may own property and she may drink and smoke in her husband's presence.’
