D.P. MUKERJI – TRADITION AND CHANGE

• He believed that sociologists should learn and be

familiar with both ‘High’ and ‘Low’ languages and

cultures- not only Sanskrit , Persian or Arabic but also
local Dialects.
• He argued that Indian culture and society are not

individualistic, it is oriented towards group, sect or
caste action, not voluntaristic individual action.

• Tradition comes from the root ‘tradere’ which means
‘to transmit’.

• D.P asserts tradition do change.

• He says for a dynamic Indian Sociology would be to

provide an account of the non- economic causes of
change.
