Theory and ideology in Indian sociology: Essays in honour of Professor Yogendra Singh
Theory and ideology in Indian sociology: Essays in honour of Professor Yogendra Singh
- New Delhi Rawat Publications 1996
- 476 p. Includes bibliographical reference and index
Despite immense potential for ideological and theoretical discourse regarding India’s intellectual tradition, worldview, cultural pluralism and historical continuity, there is dearth of serious sociological work in this area. The erudite contribution of some Indian sociologists has provided a neat conceptual categorization, theoretical and philosophical discussion and a critique of Indian sociology. Yet, the vast and immense potential for cognitive reconstruction as a self-conscious reaction to overwhelmingly privileged colonial-imperial dominant knowledge, necessitates understanding and interpretation through not only contemporary empirical studies but also classical texts, regional literature and oral traditions.
