Book Description

About the Book Essays on Cultural Anthropology is a collection of articles, particularly of social and cultural anthropological nature, that were contributed to the Second Indian Anthropological Congress held at Pune during February 21 23, 2007. Selection of a fair number of them has been not as much on qualitative considerations as in the interest in highlighting the spread and coverage. Naturally, the essays are of uneven quality. As, instead of demonstrating skill, our intention has been rather to cultivate skill through providing some academic support, particularly to the newcomers to the profession, we believe the volume would serve an useful purpose.

About the Editors Prof. Ajit K. Danda, FNA(Sc), (Bom: 1936), is a Ph.D from Cornell University (U.S.A.). He was the former Director, Anthropological Survey of India and Professor and Head, Dept. of Sociology and Social Anthropology, North Bengal University. He also served as the Professor and Research Director, The Asiatic Society, Calcutta. He was the President of Anthropology and Archaeology Section of the Indian Science Congress Association during 1975-76. At present he is the President of the Indian Anthropological Society and the Member-Secretary, Indian National Confederation and Academy of Anthropologists. He has over 150 research articles and 30 books, including edited volumes, to his credit.

Prof. R. K. Mutatkar is the Founder and President, Maharashtra Association of Anthropological Sciences and Vice-Chairman, Indian National Confedera-tion and Academy of Anthropologists. He established the Dept. of Anthropology and School of Health Sciences at the University of Poona. As the first medical Anthropologist in India, he also established the Indian Association for the Study of Traditional Asian Medicine with support from Prof. A. L. Basham and Pandit Shiv Sharma.

Introduction The Indian National Confederation and Academy of Anthropologists (INCAA), under the auspices of the University of Poona, organized the Second Indian Anthropological Congress during February 21-23, 2007, as part of its overall academic commitments. The Maharashtra Association of Anthropological Sciences (MAAS), one of the affiliated institutions of INCAA, undertook the responsibility of coordinating the entire programme. Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Snrgrahalaya, Bhopal; Anthropological Survey of India, Kolkata; Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai; Deccan College Post-Graduate and Research Institute, Pune; the Indian Association for the Study of Traditional Asian Medicine, Mumbai; and the Department of Higher Education, Government of West Bengal extended their generous collaboration in this endeavour. Altogether 222 registered delegates as well as a number of guests and special guests attended the programme that consisted of, besides the Inaugural Session, as envisaged by INCAA and MAAS, three Plenary Sessions, two Special Sessions, 16 Scientific Sessions and four Poster Sessions.
