Westernisation and Modernisation

Shyama Charan Dube ANDRE BETEILLE writing of him in EPW (March 30) is a fitting tribute to the large person of many parts that S C Dube was. It is symptomatic of Indian reality that his passing away was not noticed in The Times of India in Delhi and many in this simultaneously preand post-modern metropolis asked each other on telephone Has Dubeji passed away? Is it true?' days alter the sad event and one well known younger sociologist, a good friend and admirer of his in Delhi, learnt of it from BetctHe'S piece.
