Description
This volume debates the different ways in which ideas, practices, and traditions of sociology grew, were organized, and institutionalized in India from the mid-nineteenth century till present times. It facilitates, in a small way, an understanding of the histories of the discipline, while critically examining their origin and growth, their impact, and their limitations. The interplay of three themes- time, space, and power-structures the arguments in this book. The
essays in this collection highlight two separate but connected dominant positions that have structured the formation of sociological traditions in India-colonialism and its practices, and ideologies of nationalism and notions of nation and nationhood.
