Question

Write briefly about Irawati Krave and her contributions to sociology.

Answer 1

Irawati is known in Maharashtra for her work in Marathi liter­ature. But, at the international level, she is known for her study of various social institutions in India, and through her book on Kinship Organization in India (1953).

She created a mark for herself in all the branches of sociology, like social, cultural, human body, anthropology, language, etc., as a scholar and a writer. She was not just an armchair researcher, but she also traversed all over India and walked the Pandhari Wari (an annual walking pilgrimage of several days and kilometres) for several years and observed many fairs and pilgrimages from up close.

She draws a parallel between society and a quilt: just as a complete quilt is formed by pieces of different colours and sizes, so is the society formed by different people who come together, form relationships with each other, mix with each other and break up, and yet, the thread that ties them to society still remains.

Hope it helps :)
