Answer & Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
The correct answer is
Option D: Louis Dumont ⇔ Ramkheri village, Madhya Pradesh
Let's break down why:
*
I. P. Desai ⇔ Mahuwa Gujarat: This is
correctly matched.
I. P. Desai conducted significant studies on family and kinship in the town of Mahuwa, Gujarat.
*
Bernard Cohn ⇔ Chamars of Madhopur: This is also
correctly matched.
Bernard Cohn's work explored the social changes and history of the Chamars (a caste group) in the village of Madhopur.
*
Andre Beteille ⇔ Sripuram, Tanjore: This is
correctly matched as well.
Andre Beteille is known for his study of social stratification and agrarian relations in Sripuram, a village in Tanjore (now Thanjavur), Tamil Nadu.
*
Louis Dumont ⇔ Ramkheri village, Madhya Pradesh: This is the
incorrectly matched pair.
While Louis Dumont is a prominent sociologist known for his work on the Indian caste system, his most famous work was based on his study of the
"Homo Hierarchicus" and not specifically on Ramkheri village. S.C. Dube is usually associated with the study of Ramkheri village.
