245 _aThe marching millions: An obloquy for Indian sociology

300 _a59(5), Feb 3, 2024: p.14-17
520 _aA critique of the century-long history of Indian sociology examines contemporary disciplinary practices in relation to its increasing embrace of what it calls the diasporic forms of knowledge production and dissemination. It brings out the debilitating implications of such an overdependence on the global recognition of our scholarly endeavours. While drawing on the introspective legacy of the discipline, it enjoins students of Indian sociology to reflect on the current state of the discipline with a view to reinvigorate it with empirically grounded works of lasting value. It makes a plea for the contextual and empirically grounded development of sociological theories and the discipline. – Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2024/5/commentary/marching-millions.html
