The first generation of Indian sociologists relied on the survey method & intensive fieldwork; since independence in the 1950's, the new generation has been concerned with a more elaborate research methodology, partly because of the need for more standardized procedures & emphasis on teamwork & partly as a result of exposure to American sociology whose distinctive feature is concrete & task-oriented research. Large numbers of Indian sociologists were trained in the US & much assistance in India has been provided by US foundations. Presently the Indian Council of Social Research is responsible for training programs in research methodology & is much preoccupied by research designs, scaling techniques, computerization, etc. The question is raised whether this preoccupation distracts scholars from a pursuit of relevant sociological problems; results following the application of the "scientific machinery" have been meager. In countries like India the new research technology requires abundant funds which are not always as available as they are in the US. J. N. Mayer.
