Readings in Indian Sociology
It is through the contributions of the pioneering scholars that not only a particular discipline derives its name but also the foundations on which a particular discipline is built and grows. G.S. Ghurye (1893-1983), Radhakamal Mukerjee (1889-1968), D.P. Mukerji (1894-1961) and M.N. Srinivas (1916-1999) are known as the pioneers of sociology in India. It is mainly on them and on their contributions that the contemporary sociologists in India have extensively published in the issues of the Sociological Bulletin. Volume 10, Pioneers of Sociology in India, contains a selection of papers that have been published since 1977on these founding fathers of Sociology in India.

Indian Society and Sociology: Challenges and Responses
At the outset, let me thank and express my heartfelt gratitude to Mohanlal Sukhadia University and its functionaries for hosting the 38th All India Sociological Conference in this beautiful lake city of Udaipur. I must also express my heartfelt thanks to all the members of the Indian Sociological Society (ISS) for having given me the opportunity to serve as its President. I once again assure you all that I will do my utmost to promote and strengthen sociology in every part of the country. A major step in this direction has been initiated in the form of establishing five Zonal Sociology Promotion Councils. The ISS Managing Committee has also constituted more than half a dozen committees to promote and address our common concerns such as young scholars, women's participation, research co-ordination, publications, programs, job-oriented courses, liaison with regional associations, finance and membership, and of course to suggest ISS election reforms.
