It is a charity and is incorporated in England as a company limited by guarantee under the Companies Act (Reg. No. 70527). 1 THE GREAT TRADITION GLOBALIZES: REFLECTIONS ON TWO STUDIES OF ‘THE INDUSTRIAL LEADERS’ OF MADRAS By John Harriss The title of this paper alludes, of course, to Milton Singer’s book When A Great Tradition Modernizes: an anthropological approach to Indian civilization (1972), and particularly to Part IV of the book, which has the title ‘Modernization and Traditionalization’ and includes a long essay called ‘Industrial Leadership, the Hindu Ethic and the Spirit of Socialism’. The book, though it does not have the same stature in Indian anthropology as Dumont’s Homo Hierarchicus, or the essays of M N Srinivas, constituted a major contribution in its time, both as a study of Hinduism in an urban context, and as a critique of the stale old comparative statics of conventional sociological modernization theory. The core of Singer’s argument about modernization is contained in the concluding words of the long chapter which is based on his interviews with (nineteen) ‘industrial leaders’ of Madras in 1964: (The book is about) how Indians are changing their cultural traditions as they incorporate modern industry and how they are changing modern industry in order to maintain their cultural traditions.
