ABSTRACT
The sharp antagonism between neighbouring groups is even today a force of social cohesion; the members of the clan or the tribe are aware of their unity largely in terms of their common enmity to some other group. Under present conditions large scale warlike activities on the part of the trihes are a complete impossibility, but that does not justify us in dismissing the topic of warfare altogether as being of no relevance to the present social situation. While organised raiding or warfare is now impossible the private feud continues. A man need of course go to the mosque to pray. Each man's prayer oat is in effect his own mosque. Some villages have a supplementary roofed building which is used as a mosque during the winter, but this is not invariable.
