Academic work too, where such intellectual range and movement is essential in order to create the analytical grounds for productive comparisons and frameworks for understanding, tends to generate powerful disciplinary circuits spinning away in their own quite isolated orbits, ones that can also become increasingly detached from the contexts, lives, concepts and concerns that provided the grounds for generative engagement in the first place. Knowledge management extracts its costs from scholarly life. But perhaps it is our responsibility to worry even more about the costs of the circuits of our own making. A sense of attachment and reattachment, then, might enable us to move with the kind of responsibility that the Pacific Islanders and the people in Harda mandi expect from an exchange.","PeriodicalId":45175,"journal":{"name":"Contributions To Indian Sociology","volume":"55 1","pages":"52 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/00699667211000904","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47751871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rejecting this idea, they argued that reformers were often ‘desperately superficial’, and that it would be best to keep any reformist intentions outside the bounds of disciplinary sociology (Dumont and Pocock 1957: 22). Uberoi attacked the failures of this vision in his first line: ‘The aim and method of science are no doubt uniform throughout the world but the problem of science in relation to society is not’ (Uberoi 1968: 119). In a subtle move, Uberoi went on to distinguish ‘scientism’ from ‘science’. Scientism assumed that the aims and methods of science were separable; science understood that the problems of research in a new postcolony were not the same as those in the metropole. It was imperative then that any sociology of knowledge should link its aims to those of a recently decolonised society. Crucially, he took to task ‘false cosmopolitanisms’ that emphasised a widely and uniformly ‘shared point-of-view’ between the coloniser and colonised. While they appeared anti-colonial, these imaginations of a shared unified science carried on colonial harms by suppressing the need of a sociology conceptually responsive to Indian conditions. That is, the dependence created by a ‘scientific internationalism’ and global institutions cloaked the deepening dependence of Indian scholars on foreign ideas. Uberoi’s essay comprehensively dismissed the possibility that there could be a reciprocity of scholarly perspectives across a vast geopolitical divide. Much like Strathern’s diagnosis of the UN Working Group, Uberoi took to task jargon familiar to him at the time: ‘international anthropology’, ‘international exchanges’ and ‘two-way cross-cultural research’ (Uberoi 1968: 121). Rejecting such an ‘international anthropology’, Uberoi proposed a national approach.2 Uberoi’s radical critique was precisely the nightmare of fundamentally divergent sociologies that Dumont and Pocock had feared. At the same time, Uberoi’s position was immune to their challenge that such a flourishing of many sociologies would inevitably turn ethnocentric (such as Saran’s). In a characteristic manoeuvre, Uberoi embraced theories and methods that were not ‘home-grown’ in a strictly ethnic or geographical 2 While I have emphasised the national stakes as they appeared in the early issues of CIS, Uberoi’s claim does not predetermine the ‘nation-state’ as a determinant locus for different conceptual viewpoints. Indeed, in the present, one might argue that the continued marginality of Dalit scholarship in Indian sociology constitutes an ongoing manifestation of a problem that still demands a response. For and against an ‘Indian’ Sociology / 41 Contributions to Indian Sociology 55, 1 (2021): 35–44 sense (Uberoi 1974: 136).
