Biographical Account of Indian Anthropologists
Anthropology is one of the very vibrant subjects in India and Indian anthropologists will be second to American Anthropologists in terms of numbers. The institutions teaching anthropology are nearly touching a half-century. India has already completed a century of teaching of anthropology. Besides, India is one of the few countries to have an exclusive public funded research organization named Anthropological Survey of India completing 77 years of its glorious existence. In the present volume, comprehensive information is being given on many important anthropologists who have made significant contribution in enriching the theory and subject matter of Indian anthropology. Most of the entries have been penned by the colleagues and students of the anthropologist making the present volume a very unique memoir in anthropology.
The Sundarbans
The lower deltaic Bengal, the Sundarbans has always had a life of its own, unique in its distinctive natural aspect and social development. Geographical and ecological evidence indicates that most of the area used to be once covered with dense, impenetrable jungle even as patches of cultivation sprang intermittently into life and then disappeared. A continuous struggle ensued between man and nature, as portrayed in the punthi literature that thrived in lower deltaic Bengal between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. The construction of a permanent railroad connecting Calcutta to Canning further facilitated the influx of new ideas and these, subsequently, found expression in the spreading of co-operative movements, formation of peasant organizations, and finally culminated in open rebellion by the peasants (Tebhaga Movement). The struggle between men and the dangerous forests was therefore overshadowed by the conflict among men. This book will be of great interest to students of history, sociology, anthropology and economic geography.
