Anthropology

 Anthropology has a rich tradition in India. Usually believed to have a formal beginning in 1784 with the establishment of Asiatic Society of Bengal, anthropology has come a long way in the last two centuries. Earliest anthropological writings about India are by the British administrators, missionaries, and travelers; as well as British who were trained as anthropologists, Indian anthropologists came to the fore in the 20th century. 

 Sarat Chandra Roy (1871–1942) was a Bengali speaking Indian scholar of anthropology. He is widely regarded as the father of Indian ethnography, the first Indian ethnographer, and as the first Indian anthropologist.  Keeping all this in perspective, he decided to spend years and decades among tribal folks to study their languages, conduct ethnography, and interpret their customs, practices, religion and laws for the benefit of humanity, and also for the established system of colonial civil jurisprudence. In so doing, he wrote pioneering monographs, that would set the ground for broader understanding and future research. 

In his later years, he spent his time editing Man in India and in other journals, writing and lecturing at the newly established anthropology department at the University of Calcutta, and serving as a reader at Patna University.

Dr. Panchanan Mitra  was the first professor of anthropology in India. He was among the first Indians to study at Yale University and conducted several anthropological expeditions in India and abroad. He was the head of the Department of Anthropology of the University of Calcutta and is most known for his works Prehistoric India (1923), History of American Anthropology (1930) andIndo-Poly-nesian Memories (1933).
