BASIC CONCEPTS IN SOCIOLOGY
This course focuses on the relationship between the individual and society and asks how it is that we
become members of a society yet remain individuals within it. In this course we will learn how we shape
society and how society shapes us. We will learn how our everyday lives are connected to the lives of
others around the world. For example, Globalization, for the purpose of this course, will be defined as
the process of increasing interconnectedness between states, societies, cultures, and individuals such
that events and social relationships in one part of the world increasingly affect those elsewhere. At the
same time, globalization is often highly uneven and can be experienced in a variety of ways, integrating
some people while excluding others, and producing both commonalities and differences . Sociology is a
science of lived experiences. It seeks to make us more conscious of our social world and the living
patterns we create, change and recreate. We must critically examine them rather than take them for
granted. To do this, we will learn basic sociological concepts, and learn how these concepts can help us
understand our social surroundings, locally and globally. We will learn that our personal experiences are
not independent of the events in the larger society. We will learn how they connect to each other and
how to evaluate that connection, that is, where is it strong and where less so. This means we will
examine the perspective of the individual as well as the perspective of the social structure. In addition,
we will learn tools of sociological analysis and interpretation to help our understandings become deeper
and more clear. Finally, there is more than one perspective—way of seeing—to any social interaction
and we will learn how these ways of seeing apply to various theoretical perspectives in order to dig
beneath the surface of social life.

INDIAN SOCIETY: I
The ideas about Indian society and its institutions and processes were reproduced by
mainstream, anthropologically oriented first generation Sociologists of India who
predominantly followed Colonial knowledge pattern enabled by Colonial conquest. In certain
important ways, knowledge was what Colonialism was all about. The classification of
“traditional” and “modern” was reconstructed and transformed by this knowledge which
created new categories and oppositions between East and West, European and Asians and
modern and traditional. This course focuses and highlights how Indian everything were
reconstructed as traditional, backward, stagnant by hegemonic European understanding
especially from 18th century onwards and how it became integral part of our pedagogy and
analysis and how we followed the framework of colonization of knowledge in Sociological
understanding of Indian Society. At the same time, the course brings to the fore how India
was in reality through analysis of original historical –Sociological sources and decolonize our
knowledge and understanding of Indian society maintaining a logical distinction between
science and ideology.
