This book explores the discipline of social-cultural anthropology
through an extensive study of the Nicobarese people in one of the
remotest human settlements of the Indian Ocean. It examines the
social, cultural, economic, political and magico-religious beliefs
of the Nicobarese, and traces their ritualistic upbringing from
conception till after death. The book also discusses the
nature-man-spirit complex observed in the life of the Nicobarese.
The author further utilises this study to examine the complex role
of anthropologists in maintaining objectivity and authenticity in
ethnographic accounts, and discusses several critical
epistemological issues concerning social-cultural anthropology as a
field of study today. Based upon extensive field research by the
author conducted over four decades, this volume will be of great
interest to scholars and researchers of sociology and
social-cultural anthropology, human geography, social sciences,
minority studies, as well as South Asian studies.
