The Modern Anthropology of India is an accessible textbook providing a critical overview of the ethnographic work done in India since 1947. It assesses the history of research in each region and serves as a practical and comprehensive guide to the main themes dealt with by ethnographers. It highlights key analytical concepts and paradigms that came to be of relevance in particular regions in the recent history of research in India, and which possibly gained a pan-Indian or even trans-Indian significance. Structured according to the states of the Indian union, contributors raise several key questions, including: What themes were ethnographers interested in? What are the significant ethnographic contributions? How are peoples, communities and cultural areas represented? How has the ethnographic research in the area developed? Filling a significant gap in the literature, the book is an invaluable resource to students and researchers in the field of Indian anthropology/ethnography, regional anthropology and postcolonial studies. It is also of interest to students of South Asian studies in general as it provides an extensive and critical overview of regionally based ethnographic activity undertaken in India.

Genre: Education
ISBN: 1482817896

Research Methodology A Handbook is designed as a short introduction to the subject. It is eminently practical in nature. Conceptual issues confusing the research scholar have been dealt with in a lucid manner. The authors believe that even in the social sciences the mechanical or quantitative dimension should precede the sociological dimension. Before the social scientist begins to deal with verbal categories such as role, status, institution, etc, he should be in a position to appreciate the mechanical dimension. Familiarity with the mechanical dimension makes it possible for the research scholar to appreciate the fact that even when the dimension is sociological, the elements of science such as validity and reproducibility come to the fore. The book is based on material published over the last hundred years and the authors believe that the social sciences where cause and effect can still be separated in experienced time have not moved much beyond where they were several years ago.
