Introduction: in memoriam My first interaction worth-the-name with Professor Srinivas was in the Vice-Chancellor’s office at the Delhi University in late 1971 or early 1972. I sat for an interview for the position of Reader in the country’s premiere Advanced Centre of Sociology. My interview was kept a guarded secret from everyone in Patna University where I was a Lecturer, save and except my family. The reason: I did not at all expect to get selected so why advertise!
