Abstract

For two years between 1962 and 1964 I lived among the people of Gohira Union, thana Raozan, in the Chittagong District of East Pakistan, in order to study the domestic and kinship relations of Moslems. The place of study is situated 16 miles north-east of Chittagong, the second largest city of East Pakistan. The 'Union' is an administrative unit extending over an area of approximately 3,496 acres. It is divided into three sub-units or gram, this word being fairly translated into English as 'village'. The three gram are Gohira proper, Dalainagar and Kotwalighona
