Tarak Chandra Das: The Unsung Hero of Indian Anthropology

The book tells the untold story of a pioneering anthropologist in India who at the best remained not more than a conscientious teacher and meticulous ethnographer and at worst simply forgotten. Each chapter of the book unfolds a plethora of thrilling facts and enchanting analyses of the contributions of T.C.Das which traces the trajectory of Das’ works through time without missing its historical context. The book sets an example of serious biographical research in Indian Anthropology which is yet to develop into an established specialization.
