Social Background of Indian Nationalism

This historically significant text has been referred to for over sixty years as an indispensable body of knowledge for the understanding of the dynamics of Indian nationalism. This book presents a comprehensive study of the transformation of Indian society through a century and a half and the resultant rise of Indian nationalism in various forms—social, cultural, religious, economic and political. It gives a historical, synthetic and systematic account of the genesis of Indian nationalism. Employing the method of historical materialism to an analysis of Indian history of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the author has been able to single out and assess various forces that have contributed to the massiveness of nationalistic influence.

This book is about various perspectives which help us understand Indian society, which has passed through a long evolutionary process beginning from monarchy to feudalism, colonialism and democracy.

Each chapter traces the formative influences, both intellectual and social, which have contributed to the social philosophy of the thinker. A short introduction to each sociological master, titled Life and Times, gives a very useful insight, to the social and political environment and the intellectual traditions, to which, the major theorists react. The book is written in a lucid, easy-to-read manner, and essentially sums up the development of sociological thought for over two centuries.

Feminisms

This volume attempts to locate feminism/s within historical and critical perspectives, and provides a broad framework within which to locate the possible politics of feminism. It traces the trajectory of feminism, from a movement for the rights of women to the possibility of an 'organic revolution', and from the renegotiations of the 'woman question' by early feminists and suffragists to the critical interventions of ecofeminists and lesbian feminism.

Fundamentals Of Sociology

Fundamentals of Sociology is an introduction to the definition, methods and fundamental concepts of sociology. The book prepares the ground for the study of the origins and structures of society and social groups in correlation with other social sciences. In doing so the author looks into the most important facet of social structure—social institutions—which in their varied forms act as agents of socialization and social control. Dwelling upon key issues in sociology this book details: the questions of social evolution and progress, the role played by heredity, environment and personality, the concerns raised about racial problems, social stratification, and the order of culture and civilization, the significant changes that have occurred in economic system and industry, population, and food supply, the phenomena that carved out the modern Indian society—Green Revolution and industrialization. A comprehensive work, this book has over four decades had a definitive influence on the discipline of sociology. It will continue to be immensely useful for students and teachers.

Social Change In Modern India

This volume is a compilation of a series of lectures delivered by the eminent social anthropologist M. N. Srinivas. These lectures have been widely acclaimed and have since been recommended or prescribed as a text for students of sociology, anthropology and Indian studies. The book remains the ???classic of social anthropology??? as it was hailed, when first published.

Values and Ethics in Business and Profession

Primarily intended for undergraduate students of all disciplines of engineering and students of computer applications (MCA), this book is a comprehensive exposition of the values and ethical principles that one needs to adopt to become a responsible and accountable professional. The book is organized in nine chapters that addresses the three broad areas of concern—values, ethics, and sustainable development. It first discusses the prevalent concept of values in human society, the various types of values, and the crisis of values that seems to be engulfing the contemporary society. The concept of ethics, the various ethical values, and the ethical requirements for a professional in the modern workplace are highlighted in detail. The ramifications of industrialization, the respective roles of science, technology and engineering, as well as the need for preservation of the environment and the use of eco-friendly technologies are explained. Finally, the ethical issues involved in the management of resources are discussed. A number of case studies have been provided in the book to enable a clear understanding of the topics presented. Each chapter contains short answer as well as long answer questions to test the students’ grasp of the underlying concepts.

Research Methodology In Behavioural Sciences

The quality and productivity of a research work very much depends on the competency of the researchers. Such competency needs to be generated and nurtured properly among the researchers from the very beginning of their research career. This comprehensive book on research methodology discusses in detail how to carry out research studies in various disciplines of behavioural sciences in an organized manner. The book is meant for the postgraduate students of Education (M.Ed.), Sociology, Psychology and Management. In addition, it will also be useful to research scholars in learning the art of doing qualitative and quantitative research studies in behavioural sciences.

Contemporary Sociology

The writing of this book mainly grew out of the significant changes that have happened in the field of sociology around the world in the last few decades. What distinguishes it from other books is that it provides arguments and comments, wherever necessary, reflecting new developments in the subject. On several important topics, the author collates the relevant views of other scholars and then offers his own point of view. Besides authenticity, coherence and reliability, one may thus find in this book a rare depth of knowledge and a combination of theoretic frameworks and empirical realties. As such, not only students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, but also those appearing in various competitive examinations would find it useful.

Social Anthropology

There are many variants of social anthropology. The Indian variant is a combination of British social anthropology and Indian sociology. Of late the combination has also affected the methodology. It is argued that the students of social anthropology cannot be served by yesterday's social anthropology which is only a state recipe. The present work is a revisit to the contemporary situation of tribals in India. For the first time a book on the strength of empirical evidence establishes that the Indian tribals constitute a distinct type of society. This type is, of course, neither a Hindu society, nor a Christian one. It is a society which has its own ethnic, historical and cultural identity. The official tribal policy, tribal movements and other aspects of primitive life have been critically examined in this book. It also looks at Indian social anthropology from new conceptual, theoretical and fieldwork insights. This concise and legible book will provide key text to all students of social and cultural anthropology.
