It is the fundamental relationship between human beings. Kinship relationships arise out of two different kinds of bonds that cement people together. They are; A. Consanguineal kinship (it forms the family of orientation). B. Affinal kinship (it forms the family of procreation). v Relationships based on the consanguineal bond of birth are called descent and relationships based on the affinal bond of sex and marriage is called alliance. The mutually conditioned interplay between the two constitutes kinship. v A kinship system is the structured system of different relationships where individuals are bound together by complex interlocking and ramifying ties. v Study of kinship is very useful to understand the elements of social organization. According to Radcliffe Brown, W.H.R. Rivers, Kroeber; they mentioned that there is a high correlation between social organization and kin terminology. Also, according to Raymond Firth, Kinship is the road on which one learns throughout the life. v Significance of Kinship in pre-industrial society is more pervasive and systematic than in modern industrial society. Kinsmen play important roles in social, economic and political spheres. Kinship Usage (in General) The study of kinship is not only based on description of relation between kins or on the basis of their classification or general forms of Kinship Behavior. There is certain special kinship usage, which holds special significance in respect to the non-literate societies. 1. Avunculate: It resembles the relation between the mother’s brothers and his sister’s children. In many societies, like in matrilineal societies; maternal uncle fulfill the duties of a father as a matter of convention. Her children become the property holding members of his uncle’s property. EXAMPLE: Trobriand Islanders of Malenesia, African tribes and Nayars of South India. 2. Amitate: This type of relation is found among Patrilineal societies, more or less similar to Avunculate and in this case, father’s sister gets great importance and respect. She’s more than a mother to her nephew and has the authority on him. This is due to the prevention of neglectance of father’s sister in a social mechanism, especially when she’s driven off from her in-laws house. EXAMPLE: Polynesian Tonga, Todas of South India. 4 Social-Cultural Anthropology Anthropology Kinship Studies in India 3. Couvade: This shows the relationship between the wife and his husband. Whenever his wife gets pregnant, he has to undergo an austere life and also maintaining a proper diet and number of taboos. According to Anthropologists; this resembles a symbolic representation of establishing paternity on a child. EXAMPLE: Toda and Khasi community of India. 4. Avoidance: In most of the societies, the usage of avoidance acts as an incest taboo. For instance: relation between mother-in-law and son-in-law. This is actually a protective measure to avoid those relations who remain face-to-face in everyday life. 5. Joking Relationship: This relationship can be put in contrast to avoidance. This is specially aprivileged relationship where kins indulge in teasing each other by different kinds of jokes including vulgar sexual jokes. This can be seen between a man and his wife’s younger sisters or between a woman and her husband’s younger brother. Anthropologists show the importance of Kin terms as it helps to distinguish the relatives as well as also indicate the form of families, rules of residence, rules of descent, etc. Different Definitions of Kinship by Different Anthropologists 1. W.H.R. Rivers (1924) defines Kinship as the “social recognition of biological ties”. 2. Radcliffe Brown (1950) defines Kinship as “a social relationship based on descent”. 3. According to Evans-Pritchard, Meyer Fortes, Lucy Mair and several anthropologists Kinship is defined as a relationship based on culturally defined principle of consanguinity. 4. Claude Levi Strauss as well as Louis Dumont defines Kinship as a totality of relationship governed by the rules of consanguinity and affinity. 5. According to Miller, Kinship refers solely on the relationships based on descent and marriage. 6. Howard says that Kinship means “social relation based on cultural recognition by descent and marriage. 7. Rlys Williams defines Kinship as “socially defined and affined relationships that link individual in order to provide continent between and within generations which also serve in important ways to regulate and maintain social order”. Degree of Kinship Any relationship between two individuals is based on the degree of closeness or distance of that relationship. This can be seen as in the form of degree of kinship, which demonstrated in tabular form: 5 Social-Cultural Anthropology Anthropology Kinship Studies in India DEGREE OF KINSHIP PRIMARY KINSHIP SECONDARY KINSHIP TERTIARY KINSHIP P.

However, Morgan’s view along with that of McLennan and Sir Henry Maine, about the Kinship system should be equated with evolutionary law is not in favour with contemporary anthropologists. • Different Anthropologists emphasized on Kinship system in their own way. Like Meyer Fortes, he mainly emphasized on the interpersonal relations between individuals and

The constituting of kinship was not a creation from nothing, like divine creation ; rather, in the manner of human creations, it came about as a gathering together into a new configuration of elements that had previously existed in a dispersed state. From the law, from ethnographies of missionaries, explorers and philosophical trav- ellers, from the Classics and the Bible were drawn a variety of existing concepts – of patriarchy and matriarchy, forbidden degrees of marriage, rules of inheritance, and so forth – as material for the making of the new thing, kinship. The inventors of kinship – Lewis H. Morgan, J. F. McLennan, Henry Maine, Johann J. Bachofen, Numa D. Fustel de Coulanges – were thrown together through the making of this new object, collaborating in its production without really intending to, or even being aware that they were doing so (Trautmann 1987).

  • Rise and Development of Sociology in India
    Rise and Development of Sociology in India Prof. Jhaverbhai Patel1 , Dr. Subhashchandra Pandar2 1,2 Gujarat University, Ahmadabad, India ABSTRACT In India sociology and social anthropology can be traced to the days when the British officials realized its need for smooth administration. The aftermath of 1857 new science had to come to understand the roots of Indian society. It was with the rise of ethnography, anthropology, and sociology which began to provide empirical data of the colonial rule. According to the history Herbat Risely was the pioneer of ethnographic studies in India. By the second half of the 19th century, Indian sociologists have made a prominent contribution to the development of indigenous studies of Indian society. Certain trends of development of sociology may be identified in the pre independence period. But strong scientific empirical tradition had not emerged before independence. Sociology was considered a mixed bag without a proper identity of its own (Rao, 1982). Sociology established its identity as discipline by separating itself from psychology, anthropology and social philosophy in post independence period. Many scholars who richly contributed to the promotion of sociological studies and research in the country. G. S. Ghurye, N. A. Toothi, D. N.Majmudar, B. N. Seal, K. M. Kapadia, Iravati Karve, S. V. Karanadikar, M. N. Srinivas, A. R. Desai, I. P. Desai, M. S. Gore and Y. B. Damle are some of the outstanding scholars who shaped the destiny of the discipline. And helped in the establishment of the development of sociology in India. Keywords: development ,Pre-Independence ,post-Independence. INTRODUCTION An attempt is made in this paper to traced the development of two closely linked and overlapping social sciences, viz., sociology and social anthropology in India and in that process to try to explicate the relationship between development and the cultural milieu in which it has occurred.

    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.

  • Significant Lives: Biography, Autobiography, and Women's History in South Asia
    Significant Lives: biography, autobiography, and women's history in South Asia Supriya Chaudhuri Cite this article: Significant Lives: biography, autobiography, and women's history in South Asia by Supriya Chaudhuri at https://oclw.web.ox.ac.uk/, via https://oclw.web.ox.ac.uk/significant-lives-biography-autobiography-and- womens-history-south-asia. Accessed on Monday, 1 June 2020. When I chose a title for this talk, I must have been recalling – though I didn’t realize this at the time -- a justly-celebrated essay by Carolyn Steedman, published in 1992 in the journal History and Theory, and titled ‘La Théorie que n’en est pas une: or, Why Clio doesn’t Care.’ In that essay, partly reworked from her own recently published biography of the socialist educator Margaret McMillan (Steedman 1990), Steedman suggested that the practice of biography made for a new understanding of women’s history, which might be described as an altered sense of the historical meaning and importance of female insignificance. The absence of women from conventional historical accounts, discussion of this absence (and discussion of the real archival difficulties that lie in the way of presenting their lives in a historical context) are at the same time a massive assertion of the littleness of what lies hidden. A sense of that which is lost, never to be recovered completely, is one of the most powerful organizing devices of modern women's history (Steedman 1992: 43). Steedman sees herself, then, as extending what Elizabeth Fox-Genovese had said more cryptically ten years earlier: that ‘women’s history challenges mainstream history, not to substitute the chronicle of the female subject for that of the male, but rather to restore conflict, ambiguity and tragedy to the historical process’ (Fox- Genovese 1982: 29).
