Mind and Society

From Indian Studies to General Sociology

J.P.S. Uberoi and Edited by Khalid Tyabji

Author Information

J.P.S. Uberoi, Former Professor, Department of Sociology, Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi,Khalid Tyabji, Visiting Professor, National School of Drama, New Delhi

Prof. J.P.S. Uberoi (b. 1934) has held one of the longest professorships at the Department and Centre of Advanced Studies in Sociology, Delhi School of Economics (1969-99) where he established the European Studies Programme. Starting from Tajiks in Afghanistan and Malinowski's Melanesians his social-anthropological investigations have stretched through the study of European science, mind and underground to linguistic pluralism, frontiers, Indian medievalism and modernity. He has done pioneering work on Sikhism, presenting it as an example of successful Indian modernity in its resolution of the relation between religion, civil society and the state. In 2011 he was honoured by the Indian Sociological Society with its Lifetime Achievement Award and in 2018 by the University of Delhi with the Distinguished Service Award for Retired Teachers. Author of innumerable papers he has published a volume on Melanesia (for which he won the Royal Anthropological Institute Award), four works on modern Europe and a

book on Sikhism. Khalid Tyabji has been a student of Prof. JPS Uberoi during his MA, M. Phil. and during over a decade of doctoral research on European science between 1977 and 1992 when he decided to devote his full time to the theatre. He mainly performs his own work on stage, street and in special institutions with occasional appearances in film. He has taught theatre in many parts of the world since his student days and been visiting professor of acting at the National School of Drama in Delhi for several decades. Tyabji has published articles on the theatre and is translator and co-editor of Acting with Grotowski, a compilation of the theatre writings of the Polish actor Zbigniew Cynkutis (Routledge 2015). He considers editing this volume to be a repayment of debt to the university he abandoned.
