This important volume on the history of sociology in India locates scholars, scholarship, theories, perspectives, and practices of the discipline in different cities and regions of the country over a century. It argues that this history is enmeshed in political projects of constructing a ‘society’, which took place as a result of colonialism and dominant nationalism. The book affirms the existence of both strong and weak traditions of scholarship in India and underscores three processes that have aided this development at various points of time: reflexive interrogation of received scholarship; probing ideal types of theories within classrooms; and questioning existing debates on society and its language by the public.

This collection captures some of the ongoing intellectual and institutional practices in sociological teaching and research in India. In the current context of globalization, it documents and theorizes about the ongoing changes. An earlier nationalist vision of education that informed much of social science practice in independent India is challenged from two very different sources: radical and local social movements on the one hand; and the imperatives of global capital on the other hand. The book further argues that sociology in India needs to engage at once with its routine everyday practices, and its unique theoretical possibilities, which allow for an active involvement in broader questions about the role of social sciences. The volume is divided into five parts: Sociology and Society: Different Takes * Sociology in the Margins: The Local and the Banal * Sociology in Professional Institutions: Global Brands and Disciplinary Marginality * New Sites and Modes of Doing Sociology * Tracking Concepts: Of Intellectual Journeys.

We live in times where theory is often understood as irrelevant in the real world. It appears to have no practical results. This has been further complicated in a post-fact world, where our identities and perception have become the final judges of truth. Sociology/social anthropology, in contrast, rests on a fundamental distinction between commonsense and theoretically informed knowledge. It teaches us to get rid of perceptions and alerts us to go beyond taken-for-granted ideas. The paradox is that although theory is taught as a mandatory paper in sociology, it is either reduced to a topic in the syllabi or used as ceremonial citations. Emphasising that theories emerge in specific historical contexts and are embedded in economic, political, social, cultural, institutional, and intellectual processes, this volume takes a new approach by highlighting the sociological paths through which theories travel and are adopted by institutions in different parts of the country. The contributors explore: the search for an indigenous theory within sociology in India; critically examine the construction of the local and the postcolonial; theorise the nation and nationalism, caste and modernity, industrial and media sociology; study the disconnect between theory taught within the classroom and theory practised in the world outside.

"A brilliant treasury of wisdom and insight drawn from leading sociologists throughout the world...It is a striking achievement, of which the International Sociological Association can be very proud, to have brought so many independent-minded scholars into so productive a dialogue." - Dennis Smith, Professor of Sociology, Loughborough University Twenty-nine chapters from prominent international contributors discuss, challenge and re-conceptualise the global discipline of sociology, evaluating the diversities within and between sociological traditions of many regions and nation-states. They assess all aspects of the discipline: ideas and theories; scholars and scholarship; practices and traditions; and ruptures and continuities through an international perspective. The Handbook argues that diversities in sociological traditions can be studied at three levels. First, they need to be studied from multiple spatial locations: within localities, within nation-states, within regions and the globe. Second, they need to be discussed in terms of their sociological moorings in distinct philosophies, epistemologies and theoretical frames, cultures of science and languages of reflection. Third, the intellectual moorings of sociological practices are extensive. The papers discuss the diverse and comparative sites of knowledge production and its transmission.

What explains the rapid growth of state power in early modern Europe? While most scholars have pointed to the impact of military or capitalist revolutions, Philip S. Gorski argues instead for the importance of a disciplinary revolution unleashed by the Reformation. By refining and diffusing a variety of disciplinary techniques and strategies, such as communal surveillance, control through incarceration, and bureaucratic office-holding, Calvin and his followers created an infrastructure of religious governance and social control that served as a model for the rest of Europe—and the world.

In an ex-colonial nation such as India, The discipline of sociology grew by absorbing multiple influences from local milieu and National concerns. Changes in disciplinary trends worldwide also influenced the ways in which sociological knowledge was produced. However, research methodology is still not considered a distinct field in Indian academia, because of which emerging issues and concerns around the methodology of sociological research, or changing trends, do not receive adequate attention. Doing social research tries to fill this gap by providing scholars with an introduction to a range of qualitative methods oral history, content analysis, ethnography, life history method, narrative analysis used to conduct research in New and emerging fields. Given the profound changes in the nature of sociology and sociological practice, the chapters present sociological research as a messy multi-layered exercise, historically situated and dependent upon varied ideas, practices and perspectives. The contributors make use of the historical method to understand questions of caste in the Dalit struggle, the village studies tradition and how its very meaning has changed over time. Balancing the discussion on theories are tangible examples of engagement with these methods: The life history method helps to provide an account of a working-class woman; oral history brings to light the experiences of women following the Bhopal gas tragedy; a shift from interviews to narratives enables a patient-centred approach in medical accounts, among many others. Combining theory and practical knowledge, doing social research will be invaluable for students and scholars of sociology and social anthropology.

It covers the growth of sociology as an academic and pedagogical subject, with four main parts. Part I discusses important theoretical orientations in Indian sociology, including Indological and civilizational approaches, as well as the contributions of an eminent sociologist and pioneer in Indian sociology, Professor Yogendra Singh, concerning the sociology of knowledge, liberal democracy, and the relevance of his concept of Islamization in the study of Indian society. Part II examines substantive areas of study such as caste, class, and tribe. Part III reflects on specific topics of current concern in Indian sociology, such as emerging vistas and futures, globalization, and rethinking area studies for planetary conversations. This book is highly relevant for postgraduate students and researchers in sociology, social anthropology, and social sciences.
