Conclusion
The key (to any successful strategy) is to pick and chose as per one's own convenience, keeping in mind the
individual capabilities and constraints. The bottomline is that the syllabus has to be kept in mind and no stone is to
be left unturned while covering it.
c.Application-
Some of my friends picked up tit-bits from Lewis Coser and some referred to Raymond Aron too(optional)
For Paper 2- Start with IGNOU BA course material and stick to it! Take care to mention the case studies
considered in the IGNOU booklets in your examination.
You should also read:
1. M.N.Srinivas-Social Change in India
2. Yogendra Singh-Modernisation of Indian Tradition
3. Handbook of Indian Sociology-edited by Veena Das (selective reading of the book )
4. J.C.Verma (a NBT publication on Tribals) for the portion on problems faced by tribals
I found books like Madan and Mazumdar- Social Anthropology and Horton and Hunt relevant for prelims only
Though one could pick up meaning of terms like culture etc from the Horton and Hunt book to understand its
usage and maybe, apply it in the Essay paper (if it so demands)
Now the question arises
