Louis Dumont 1911-1998: A memoir

T.N. Madan

Institute of Economic Growth, Delhi-110007, India Email: tnmadan{at}ieg.ernet.in

This essay briefly discusses the major contributions of Louis Dumont to the sociology of India and to the study of the ideology of individualism in the West. Changing from the formal to the personal mode of presentation, the author recalls his association with Dumont over a period of thirty-five years. He describes the launching of the second series of Contributions to Indian sociology in 1967, the presentation of a festschrift to Dumont in 1982, and the translation into English of his ethnographic magnum opus on a south-Indian subcaste. Finally, drawing upon their correspondence, the author attempts to describe what kind of person Dumont was. The text is followed by a comprehensive bibliography of Dumont's published works.
