This book commemmorates eminent sociologist Satish Saberwal who pioneered interdisciplinarity in the social sciences in India through a series of 15 collected essays in four different parts. The first part takes a biographical approach to Saberwal and includes both reminiscences by his peers as well as an extensive interview with Saberwal. The second part is devoted to the methodology of studying sociology in India. The third part is dedicated to historical perspectives, as Saberwal was interested in combining historical and sociological approaches and considers both ancient and modern Indian history. The fourth part focuses on different institutions and processes in contemporary India, and discusses issues like education, caste, violence and environmentalism. The different essays in the volume draw from Saberwal s important work on crisis, conflict, social mobility and institutional rules and norms and generate new perspectives on a wide variety of issues.
