Challenges for Indian Sociology
Asian Journal of Social Science, 2006
Challenges for Indian Sociology* The failure of sociology to come to grips with larger societal issues is not just a failure of sociology in India. A widespread problem faced by the discipline at present is the reluctance to raise ‘big questions’. Quite apart from the problem of ‘Euroschauism’ which imposes partial views as the universal view, it is necessary for sociologists in a country like India to raise the issue of social change in India and the rest of the world as a theoretical issue that demands adequate conceptualisation. Such a task demands a critical perspective. It is possible to be critical of one’s culture while being rooted in it. The first step to take is to study the concerns of the average person and to look at one’s society critically, not as an outsider who finds the country of his birth difficult to take but as an insider who chooses to live in his country and undergoes what everyone else is going through. Along with this is the ability to step outside one’s own society, not to go away but to return. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *This is a revised version of the paper presented at the seminar on ‘Global Challenges and Local Responses: Trends and Developments in Society and Sociologyin Asia and Beyond’, Singapore, March 14 to 16, 2004.

In the introduction to this special section, we present six ethnographic articles that explore the sites and forms of 'non-sociological sociality' in South Asia. Set in urban spaces where the familiar vectors of relations, such as ethnicity, class, gender or age, may be attenuated, the articles examine how social and political entanglement is suffused with ambiguity, indeterminacy, provisionality and contingency. In these sites, opaque conditions, open-ended play, double meanings and interpretive scrutiny abound. Spaces such as the racecourse, the bazaar, the university campus or the nocturnal street suggest undetermined conditions and fleeting collaborations which have a wider bearing on cross-cutting forms of sociality in South Asia.
Review of "Social theory for today. Making sense of social worlds"
2016
Law’s book is one of those texts to keep at hand to revise every now and then. In the midst of the current global intellectual crisis and steamrollered by the capitalist mode of producing ‘scientific knowledge’, we scholars are lucky enough to have these texts published yet. Social Theory for Today is a distinctive book for it warns scholars against the “sociological amnesia” produced by a devastating academic order of things that encourages the publication of hundreds of articles, chapters and books every month and on the most unremarkable topics; an inevitable and objectionable consequence of the former, I may add.
