Abstract

Ramkrishna Mukherjee (1917–2015) was a founding architect of sociology in the country, a pioneer in village studies, a master of historical sociology and an ardent and committed empiricist with a penchant for mathematical formulae and statistical analysis of social reality. In this chapter, we introduce a selection of essays about him, which were written by leading sociologists paying tribute to his memory. The chapter is divided into three sections: Sect. 1 sketches Mukherjee’s biography and academic career; Sect. 2 contains Partha Nath Mukherji’s reminiscence of his almost five-decade-long association with Mukherjee; and Sect. 3 briefly describe the essays in this volume.
