Who is known as the "Father of Indian Sociology" ?
Answer: B
The 'Father of Indian Sociology' is G. S. Ghurye.
Govind Sadashiv Ghurye headed the Department of Sociology at the University of Bombay from 1924, built the first major postgraduate school of sociology in India, founded the Indian Sociological Society, and wrote pioneering works such as Caste and Race in India. He trained many of the next generation of Indian sociologists.
M. N. Srinivas, one of those students, is known for the concepts of Sanskritisation and the dominant caste. Radhakamal Mukerjee and D. P. Mukerji founded the Lucknow school, but neither carries the 'father' title.
