The Future of Independent India
L'A. s'interroge quant au role des sociologues au sein de l'Inde actuelle. Il enumere les changements sociaux observes dans ce pays depuis son acces a l'independance. Il souligne que l'Inde s'est considerablement industrialisee. Il revele que, pour les membres de l'elite politique indienne, la liberalisation et la globalisation de l'economie induisent une emulation sociale et economique salutaire
Towards a More Meaningful Study of Ecology, Society and Culture
The quest for a meaningful study of ecology, society and culture inevitably leads one to consider in some detail the direction which our discipline should take. In trying to do so I shall speak plainly, without mincing matters or playing safe. For, I do think that our hesitation to bring into the ambit of academic discourse that which we really believe to be true, has been a major cause of the stunted growth of social sciences in India. Of course…
Schneider's Symbolic Culture Theory
Two traditions have been vying for supremacy in the area of cultural analysis. The first sees culture as encompassing the totality of socially learned human phenomena; the second restricts the term to shared mental-primarily cognitive-properties. David Schneider has achieved a dominant positon in the latter school. In this paper I examine critically Schneider's approach to culture, with special attention to the problems raised by his perspective …
The Cultural Level of Unlettered Folk
It is often taken for granted that people who are predominantly unlettered inevitably have a low cultural level. The frequently used word "illiterate" does not merely signify inability to read and write but also implies a general lack of knowledge and culture. Indeed, some of the standard dictionaries mention "ignorant" as one of the meanings of the word illiterate. It is common for people belonging to modern industrial societies to look down upo…
Oral Tradition and the Study of Peasant Society
This article attempts to bring out the value of oral tradition as a source of data regarding peasant society and culture. Many subtle aspects of social interaction and attitudes that may be left out or distorted by the more formal and expensive techniques of data collection can be made accessible through a careful analysis of oral tradition. This useful source has scarcely been tapped so far. Its proper utilization for scientific purposes would, …

Towards a Sociology of Culture in India
The Course of Social Change
During the last five years or so there has been a happy revival of interest in social change and evolution. The remark by Talcott Parsons: "Slowly and somewhat inarticulately, emphasis in both sociological and anthropological quarters is shifting from a studied disinterest in problems of social and cultural evolution to a 'new relativity' that relates its universais to an evolutionary framework," epitomises the direction of the trend. Of course s…
Modern Social Forces in Indian Folk Songs
Indian villages are not yet industrialized. Influences of modern technology on village life come mostly from outside. Industrialization has affected the urban centers and is bringing about a change in the relationship between these centers and folk societies, thereby influencing the latter as well.Indian folk communities have not been isolated societies like the primitive tribes. They were closely connected with non-industrial urban centers and t…
