It brings an end to my two-year tenure as Secretary, Indian Sociological Society (ISS, 2016 - 2017) and Editor, ISS E-Newsletter. The first and foremost important activity has been the successful organization of the 43rd th All India Sociological Conference (AISC) at Lucknow during 9 –12 November, 2017. I am thankful to Prof. D.R. Sahu, the Organizing Secretary of the Conference and his team for this feat. I convey my gratitude to all the Managing Committee (MC) Members of ISS for supporting us in all our endeavours and helping us to carry out some of the decisive initiatives that we took this year. My sincere thanks are to the ISS President, Prof. Sujata Patel for leading us in a concrete and meaningful way, and to the Treasurer for managing well the financial as well as other aspects of the Society. It was a good team work on the whole and made me learn countless things. Shifting of the ISS office to our own Flat in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi was perhaps the biggest achievement of this MC. Transition from the old to the new locale is never an easy task and it took all our strength to accomplish this. Handing over the publication of Sociological Bulletin to Sage since 2017 and Bhartiya Samajshastra Sameeksha from 2018 is yet another significant achievement. This has helped save our resources, ensured the online availability of the Bulletin on the ISS website as well as its wide circulation across the country and the world. The ISS E-Journal Explorations also got re-started with its issues available online since 2017. The Introduction of online voting was an important step. Making this as well as all other payments like membership fees, registration fees etc. online ensured transparency and systematized the entire process. Amendment to the ISS Constitution was due long and this too was done successfully. Besides these, several sub-committees were formed like those dealing with All India Sociological conference, office and land, life-time achievement award, endowment, Ethics, ISS publications guidelines, and rationalization of Research Committees. Their reports were prepared and implemented and uploaded on the ISS website. I am thankful to all the RC Conveners and RC representatives for helping us in the rationalization process of the RCs, even if there was some resentment and disagreement, we are sure this will work out better for the academic growth of the ISS. I wish all the very best to the new team! I am indeed grateful to all the life members and others associated with the Indian Sociological Society for their contribution. Thanks are due to the Co-Editor of E- Newsletter Prof. Antony Palackal and all its’ Editorial Board Members. Special thanks to Miss. Boinu Vaiphei for meticulously handling the composing and laser typesetting of this E- Newsletter.

    Empire, Colonialism, and Democracy Advanced Undergraduate Seminar Instructor: Nazmul Sultan Office Hour: TBD Email: [email protected] Class Meetings: TBD Course Description: With the rise and consolidation of global empires in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the political thought of the European and non-European parts of the globe came to be organized around a shared set of concerns. How did modern European and non-European political thought conceive of and respond to this imperial reordering of the world? In this seminar, we will analyze the conceptual resources with which democratic and liberal thinkers approached, and often legitimated, imperial rule. We will also explore how nineteenth-century European political thought traveled around the globe, and how anticolonial political thinkers participated in and diverged from European frameworks. Along the way, we will tackle some of the big questions in empire and anticolonialism studies: how did European understanding of empire and colonialism change from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century? What were the theoretical assumptions that helped reconcile empire and democracy for canonical thinkers such as John Stuart Mill and Alexis de Tocqueville? Was the nation-state an inevitable outcome of colonial rule? And, finally, how did the long history of colonial subjection shape the understanding of democracy in the postcolonial world? Course Requirements: 1) Three papers: first two papers approximately 4-5 pages, and the second one approximately 7- 8 pages. The papers should be submitted as word documents via email. 2) In addition to regular class participation, students will be required to lead discussion on the basis of the reading for one session.

  • Paper 2 Perspectives of Indian Society-I
    MA in Sociology Paper II Perspectives of Indian Society-I DIRECTORATE OF DISTANCE & CONTINUING EDUCATION UTKAL UNIVERSITY, Vani Vihar Bhubaneswar, India 1 UNIT-I INDOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE 1.1. Indology: Meaning and Definition Indology is known as the science of Indian Society. The Indological perspective claims to understand Indian Society through the concepts, theories and frameworks that are closely associated with Indian Civilization. It made a claim that Indian Society is unique in structure, function and dynamics and cannot be associated with the European Society. Indology relies on book view and culture and denounces rigorous empirical investigation. Indology is both an approach to study the Indian Society and also an independent discipline with Indian Society as subject matter. In both the form Indology consists of studying language, beliefs, ideas, customs, taboos, codes, institutions, rituals, ceremonies and other related components of culture. Indology demands inter-disciplinary, multi- disciplinary and cross disciplinary approach. Indology is also older than Sociology. It is antique in its origin owing its origin to 1784 by Sir William Jones of Calcutta. It was in the year 1987 that Sir William Jones founded the Asiatic Society of Bengal where he introduced the two departments of Sanskrit and Indology. It is the beginning of Indology in India, which has been followed by several other scholars. 1.2. Scholars of Indology As it is a fact that Indology is more a textual study, so a lot of scholars have conducted their studies depending on text. The studies conducted during this period covers a wide range of subjects such as social structure and relationships, cultural values, kinship, ideology, cultural 2 transactions and symbolism of life and the world etc.
