The cited book has no information on how the surveys themselves were conducted. The book is an overall romanticization of pre-colonial india, and frequently indulges in nostalgia. The following books have a good overview of education&caste in india. A. L. Basham, The Wonder That Was India Gail Omvedt, Understanding Caste |

These are actual full data from the erstwhile British Administration’s revenue records with the data collected by each Provincial head and the District administration revenue collectors and officials at that time. The modus operandi of the data collection is also detailed in the book.
