Akshay Ramanlal Desai
SUBMITTED TO
DR KANIKA PAWAR
BY
HITESH MEENA AND RAMESH
LIFE
 Akshaya Ramanlal Desai (1915-1994)
 born on April 16, 1915
 at Nadiad in Gujarat
 died on November 12, 1994
 at Baroda in Gujarat.
 Influenced by his father Ramanlal Vasantlal Desai,
 a well known litterateur
 who inspired the youth in Gujarat in the thirties.
 Desai took part in student movements in Baroda, Surat and Bombay.
LIFE
 Graduated from the University of Bombay,
 obtained a law degree and a PhD in sociology under G.S. Ghurye
 from the University of Bombay in 1946.
 Later on, he taught at the Bombay University
 also became head of the department.
 In 1947, he got married to Neeraj Desai,
 She has done pioneering work in the field of women’s studies.
 In 1953, he took the membership of the Trotskyites Revolutionary Socialist Party
and resigned from its membership in 1981.
WRITTINGS
1. Rural sociology in India
2. India’s path of development: A Marxist approach
3. Social background of Indian nationalism
4. Slum and Urbanization
5. Society in India
Methodology
 Desai alone among Indian sociologists has consistently applied Marxist methods
in his treatment of Indian social structure and its processes. He is a doctrinaire
Marxist. He rejects any interpretations of tradition with reference to religion, rituals
and festivities. It is essentially a secular phenomenon.
Methodology
 Its nature is economic and it originates and develops in economics. He finds it in
family, village and other social institutions. He also does not find the origin of
tradition in western culture. His studies mainly of nationalism and its social
configuration (1966), his examination of community development programs for
economic development in villages (1959), his diagnosis of the interface between
state and society in India or the relationship between polity and social structure
(1975), his treatment of urban slums and their demographic problems (1972), and
finally his study of peasant movements (1979) are all based on a Marxist method
of historical-dialectical materialism.
Methodology
 He considers that the emerging contradictions in the Indian process of social
transformation arise mainly from the growing nexus among the capitalist
bourgeoisie, the rural petty-bourgeoisie and a state apparatus, all drawn from
similar social roots. This thwarts the aspirations of the rural and industrial working
classes by sheer of its power and of its skillful stratagems.
Thank You !
