  • In Search of Nationalist Trends in Indian Anthropology: Opening a New Discourse
    OCCASIONAL PAPER 62 In search of nationalist trends in Indian anthropology: opening a new discourse Abhijit Guha September 2018 INSTITUTE OF DEVELOPMENT STUDIES KOLKATA DD 27/D, Sector I, Salt Lake, Kolkata 700 064 Phone : +91 33 2321-3120/21 Fax : +91 33 2321-3119 E-mail : [email protected], Website: www.idsk.edu.in In search of nationalist trends in Indian anthropology: opening a new discourse Abhijit Guha1 Abstract There is little research on the history of anthropology in India. The works which have been done though contained a lot of useful data on the history of anthropology during the colonial and post- colonial periods have now become dated and they also did not venture into a search for the growth of nationalist anthropological writings by the Indian anthropologists in the pre and post independence periods. The conceptual framework of the discourse developed in this paper is derived from a critical reading of the anthropological texts produced by Indian anthropologists. This reading of the history of Indian anthropology is based on two sources. One source is the reading of the original texts by pioneering anthropologists who were committed to various tasks of nation building and the other is the reading of literature by anthropologists who regarded Indian anthropology simply as a continuation of the western tradition. There also existed a view that an Indian form of anthropology could be discerned in many ancient Indian texts and scriptures before the advent of a colonial anthropology introduced by the European scholars, administrators and missionaries in the Indian subcontinent. The readings from these texts are juxtaposed to write a new and critical history of Indian anthropology, which I have designated as the ‘new discourse’ in the title of this occasional paper.

D. Abstract This thesis critically surveys heritage management in present day India and the legislative apparatus that underpins it. Keeping within the Indian context, the research seeks to verify the suitability of the strategies that are upheld by the institutional and legislative setup of architectural conservation practices for present day India. This appraisal would be based on the premise that preservation, as it is currently understood in India, is a product of modernity and in India’s case the direct import of the Western construct of these disciplines during the colonial period. This is made evident from the history and origins of the interest in Indian antiquity as well as the development of the formalized discipline of archaeology and antiquity management.
