Indian Anthropology: Anthropological Discourse in Bombay
1886–1936 is an important contribution to the history of Indian
anthropology, focusing on its formative period. It looks at the
political economy of knowledge production and the anthropological
discourse in Bombay during the late nineteenth century. This
seminal volume highlights the much forgotten and ignored
contribution of the Bombay Presidency anthropologists, many of whom
were Indians, from different backgrounds, such as lawyers, civil
servants, and men of religion, much before professional
anthropology was taught in India. The other contributions are by
pioneers from Bengal, Punjab, and United Provinces — all British
administrators turned scholars. This volume is divided into three
parts: Part I deals with the six contributions on the history of
the development of anthropology in India; Part II deals with four
contributions on the methodology and collecting ethnographic data;
and Part III deals with four contributions on theoretical analysis
of ethnographic facts. The roots of many contemporary conflicts and
social issues can be traced to this formative period of
anthropology in India. This book will be useful to students and
researchers of anthropology, sociology, public administration,
modern history, and demography. It will also be of interest to
civil servants, students of history, Indian culture and society,
religions, colonial history, law, and South Asia studies.
