1. Dr. G. S. Ghurye-Govind Sadashiv Ghurye is known as the ‘Father of Indian Sociology’, Ghurye’s work on tribes were general as well as specific. In his work on Scheduled Tribes, he dealt with the historical, administrative and social dimensions of Indian tribes. He also wrote on specific tribes such as the Mahadev Kolis in Maharashtra. Ghurye referred to the long process of Hinduization of the tribes from different parts of India which helped them to assimilate themselves within the folds of Hindu society. His book, ‘Caste and Race in India’ which was published in 1932 is historical, anthropological and sociological perspectives to understand caste and kinship system in India. Ghurye regards endogamy as a principal feature of caste.
2. Dr. Iravati Karve- has done pioneering work in her book ‘Kinship Organization in India’, published in 1953.The book on Kinship attempts to present a comparative picture of Kinship organisation in different parts of India. The book gives us a list of kinship terms in major Indian languages, their linguistic content, corresponding behaviour and attitudes, rules of descent and inheritance and patterns of marriage and family. Kinship is primarily a socio-cultural Iravati concept and related to factors of family, caste and language in India.
