"The Primitive Culture of India" presents a detailed exploration of early 20th-century anthropological perspectives on Indian society and culture. Based on lectures delivered at the School of Oriental Studies, University of London in 1922, this work by Thomas Callan Hodson delves into the social structures, customs, and beliefs of various indigenous populations within India. Hodson's study offers insights into the methodologies and theories prevalent in the field of anthropology during that era, reflecting both the scholarly interests and the potential biases of colonial-era research.
This book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the historical development of anthropological thought and its application to the Indian subcontinent. Scholars and students interested in the history of anthropology, South Asian studies, and indigenous cultures will find this a fascinating and informative read.
