The paper suggests that the slowly rising levels of contention between 'Hundus' and 'Muslims', from early nineteen century on, accelerated the trend towards exclusive religious identities, the umma in the case of Muslims. It explorestoo the virtual absence of lower caste revolts among…

The article focuses on medieval and early modern political institutions, and argues that those in India remained c…

The Value-Base of Social Anthropology
In keeping with its present state of theoretical and methodological development and the ever accumulating stock of empirical information, the role of social anthropology today is not merely to describe or to explain a phenomenon (or a set of phenomena). Proceedings sequentially by answering the three questions "What is it?", "How is it?", and "Why is it?", social anthropology should now be in a position to answer the fourth fundamental question i…
Issues in the Ethics of Research Method
There is a pattern of elements within the Anglo-American structure of thinking and reasoning which affects methods of data collection, data analysis, and systems of information dispersion with respect to studies of non-Western cultures. An argument is built in this paper which maintains that: (1) These same elements hinder some Anglo-American anthropologists from studying their own cultures. They form a pattern which begins with the selection of …

A Biological Comparison of Eight Endogamous Groups of the Same Rank [and Comments and Replies]
In order to examine the hypothesis that some Indian groups formerly called "sub-castes" (with the implication of common origin) are in fact separate groups which at different times and places achieved the same social rank, members of eight endogamous groups, all called Brahmins, in Maharashtra were studied for morphological and genetic characters. The statistics developed by Sanghvi-T and G -and an additional one, S (somatoscopic difference) base…

Historical Notes on the Embu of Central Kenya
The oral traditions of the acephalous pre-contact Embu are critically summarized. The Shungwaya hypothesis concerning the origin of the Kikuyu and related peoples is examined and rejected. The possibility of using the Embu oral tradition as a source of historical information is discounted and some opportunities for linguistics and archaeology suggested. The paper concludes with a survey of Embu contacts with the coastal traders and early European…

The Oral Tradition, Periodization, and Political Systems
Thanks to the work of Jan Vansina, Roland Oliver, Ian Cunnison and, others, the value of the oral tradition as a source of the history of non-literate peoples is now beyond question. This value is generally judged to be greatest in areas where complex state organizations antedate contact with the Europeans. As Oliver has said, Monarchic and oligarchic states... tend to be rich in traditional laws, because it is one of the instruments of centraliz…
