RELATED PRODUCTSThe work of Professor Srinivas occupies an undisputed place in the development of modern Indian sociology . As the former head of the Department of Sociology at the University of Delhi he did much to stimulate research, specially that based on fieldwork.
The present volume brings together ten essays which cover a wide range of Srinivas’s interests. Four of these centre around the institution of the caste system, to which he has made a lasting contribution. The book takes its title from the third essay. Others focus attention on social problems such as fertility and dowry; the problem of doing fieldwork’; and his more recent interest in the position of women in Indian society. The last essay is an extremely readable autobiographical account of how he became a sociologist.
