DESCRIPTION
This book comprising the contributions of five eminent scholars presents critical appraisal of some of the key concepts used in the discourses of social sciences and history today for understanding the dynamics of society and history of India. Ramkrishna Mukherjee diagnoses the deficiency of the leading approaches relating to caste and class in sociology and anthropology and, then, offers a more appropriate alternative. Binay Bhushan Chaudhuri's focus is on tribe-caste relationship. His analysis reveals that such concepts as 'Hinduzation', 'tribe-caste continuum','tribalization', etc.
