RE-IMAGINING INDIAN SOCIOLOGY Rajiv Gupta | Jyoti Sidana | Abhinay Prasad (Eds.)
Reimagining Indian Sociology offers a critical exploration of the evolution of sociological thought in India over the past century. Bringing together contributions that reflect the intellectual concerns of three generations—from the colonial and post-colonial era, through the decades shaped by the ideals of India’s freedom movement, to the contemporary context of liberalisation and globalisation—the volume traces the changing trajectories of Indian sociology and its engagement with social reality.
The book examines how Indian sociologists have imagined, analysed, and reimagined society, culture, institutions, and social change across different historical moments. Through a rich collection of essays, it highlights the discipline’s theoretical diversity, methodological pluralism, and empirical grounding in lived social experiences. The contributors present interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives that illuminate the distinctive character and continuing relevance of Indian sociology.
By revisiting foundational ideas while engaging with contemporary challenges, this volume provides valuable insights into the development of sociology in India. It will be an important resource for students, teachers, and researchers seeking to understand the intellectual traditions, research practices, and emerging directions of Indian sociological inquiry.
