On Living in a Revolution and Other Essays
No Customer Reviews
On Living in a Revolution and Other Essays contains ten essays written by M.N. Srinivas over a period of twenty-nine years. They focus on various contemporary issues which are a part of modern Indian society but nevertheless elude comprehension. The main strength of this book lies in its ability to provide clarity to what is confusing and a pattern to what would otherwise remain unconnected. The first six essays are devoted to an understanding of the growth of modern India. The seventh essay as its title indicates deals with the social significance of religion in India today. The problems that a sociologist faces in the study of his own society has been a running preoccupation with the author and chapter 8 contains his latest reflections on the theme. The ninth essay written with Professor M.N. Panini will be of interest to the professional sociologist but will be indispensable for students studying sociology and social anthropology. The last essay is an extremely interesting account of how Srinivas began his professional career. As a sensitive and candid study of intellectual institutions, it has few rivals.
