Sociology Matching: Village Studies and Sociologists

This question requires matching specific village studies and theoretical approaches with the sociologists credited with their association or development.

Step-by-Step Matching

  • Rampura village (A): This village is famously studied by M.N. Srinivas, known for his work on Sanskritization and village ethnography. Thus, A matches with II (M.N. Srinivas).
  • Indology (B): While not exclusively tied to one sociologist among the options, Irawati Karve, known for her work on kinship and cultural analysis of India, is the best fit in this context, often engaging with traditional Indian society. Thus, B matches with IV (Irawati Karve).
  • Marxist approach (C): A.R. Desai is a prominent sociologist who extensively used and applied the Marxist perspective to analyze Indian society, economy, and politics, particularly agrarian issues. Thus, C matches with III (A.R. Desai).
  • Feminist perspective (D): Sharmila Rege is a key figure in Indian sociology associated with feminist studies, focusing on caste, gender, and sexuality. Thus, D matches with I (Sharmila Rege).

Final Matches Summary

The correct pairings are:

  • A - II (Rampura village - M.N. Srinivas)
  • B - IV (Indology - Irawati Karve)
  • C - III (Marxist approach - A.R. Desai)
  • D - I (Feminist perspective - Sharmila Rege)

This corresponds to the matching A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-I.
