Abstract

Indian anthropology, though established under the British rule had developed its own tradition of anthropological study. Some of the notable Indian anthropologists however critiqued their own anthropology as being colonial. In this paper, I have argued that quite remarkable anthropological studies were done by outstanding Indian anthropologists after the independence of the country, which encountered the major challenges of nation building, namely, resettlement of refugees after the partition of the country and development caused displacement by big dams and industrialisation.
