| Résumé : | For quite some time now, there has been a growing interest in the disciplinary history of Indian sociology. In the recent past, researchers have attempted to document institutions, individuals, approaches, methods and ‘schools’ to shed light on the entire complex of scholarly activity that has constituted the contested field of Indian sociology. Of the many debates that have animated Indian sociology, few have been as politically charged and long-lasting as the ones inaugurated by the French anthropologist Louis Dumont—beginning with his programmatic statement ‘For a sociology of India’ in the first issue of Contributions to Indian Sociology to the publication of Homo Hierarchicus in 1970 (1967 in the original French). These debates have had much to offer in relation to various interpretations of caste and Hinduism, the place of Sanskrit in scholarly models, the comparative study of civilisations, the relationship between indigenous categories borne out of cultural particularities and the universality of social sciences, contemporary geopolitics and the global ascendance of the American academy, the once-hegemonic Orientalist and Indological Western scholarship and the subsequent rise of area studies in the United States, and the cumulatively varied outcomes of the changing configurations of scholarly legitimacy and its institutional habitat in the West and beyond. While conversing with such a wide array of concerns, Roland Lardinois, appreciably enough, accomplishes a meticulously documented and fine-grained analysis of the shaping of the sociology of India in France. In effect though, the book is a social history of the emergence of Dumont’s scholarship on India. Whereas Part III of the book explicitly engages with the Dumontian avatar of scholarship on India, the preceding two sections amplify the focus and present an intellectual history of the emergence of India as a scholarly field in France. |
