"This felicitation volume is in honour of Professor Ramkrishna Mukherjee, a scholar of eminence in the contemporary Indian social science, for his scholarship and erudition in sociology and other areas of social science. The volume owes its genesis to the attempts made by Mr. Yash Nandan, a specialist on Durkheim. In the seventies Mr. Nandan mooted the idea of collecting such papers from scholars. The book contains some of these papers along with articles contributed by scholars of both national and international repute. The biographical sketch of Prof. Mukherjee highlights his contribution and wide-ranging services to sociology and allied disciplines.
"Keeping in tune with the interests of Prof. Mukherjee, that ranged from innovative and sensitive handling of social stratification and issues in social institutions like family to subtle issues and problems in other areas of social science, the papers included in this volume reflect wide-ranging ideas and thinking about the contemporary social and biological situation in India and other countries."
