The Marxist scholars, on the other hand, viewed the caste system as a kind of class formation.Īn interesting feature of these discourses is the absence of the contributions of one of the most original thinkers on the caste system. Earlier, the famous Bengali anthropologist who was at one time the personal secretary of Mahatma Gandhi proposed a theory of ‘Hindu Method of Tribal Absorption’. In the 1950s, the noted Indian sociologist, MN Srinivas, propounded a theory of social mobility within the caste system through a process which he termed ‘Sanskritization’. The anti-Dumont scholars like the American anthropologist Mckim Marriott gave more emphasis on the local and regional variations in caste perceptions. This ran counter to the modern western notion of equality and democracy. The distinguished French anthropologist Louis Dumont (1911-1998) in his book, Homo Hierachicus (1966), viewed caste as the typical expression of the Indian mind and culture in which hierarchy and inequality were deemed to be natural. It is shameful that the original of this article remained unnoticed in academic discourses on caste. A century has passed since Dr BR Ambedkar (1891-1956) wrote a perceptive article on caste. Lewisohn, whose Complete Beatles Recording Sessions and Complete Beatles Chronicle set the bar for Beatles scholarship in the 1980s and 90s, originally wanted to write about just one year – 1963, The Beatles’ breakout year – before deciding to tackle a full biography. The others volumes, presumably Turn On and Drop Out, will cover the group’s imperial phase, from 1963 to their split in 1970, and will follow some time in the next decade. This is part one of a three-volume series, collectively known as All These Years (a phrase from ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’). The magisterial Tune In delivers on all counts, fulfilling all expectations and delivering what is shaping up to be the definitive telling of one of the 20th century’s greatest stories. But just as The Beatles’ legacy has grown with every passing year, no book so far has fully given justice to the band’s social, cultural and musical importance. A full 10 years after the idea was conceived, and five after the initial deadline was left for dead, the first volume of Mark Lewisohn’s epic, definitive Beatles biography has arrived.ĭoes the world need yet another Beatles biog? For those who feel adequately served by Philip Norman’s Shout! or Hunter Davies’ 1968 authorised biography, probably not.

The school experiences are reflected in his first novel, Die Verwirrungen des Zöglings Törless ( The Confusions of Young Törless, 1906). Musil was sent him to a military boarding school at Eisenstadt (1892–1894) and then Militaer-Oberrealschule in Maehrisch-Weisskirchen, today’s Hranice (1894–1897). Soon after Robert’s birth, the family moved to Chomutov in Bohemia, and in 1891 Musil’s father was appointed to the chair of Mechanical Engineering at the German Technical University in Brno, and awarded a hereditary nobility in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Robert Mathias Musil was born in Klagenfurt, Carinthia, Austria, the only son of engineer and university professor Alfred Edler von Musil and his wife Hermine Bergauer. – Robert Musil, Helpless Europe (1922) Youth and Education “We do not have too much intellect and too little soul, but too little intellect in matters of the soul.”, Musil‘s unfinished novel The Man Without Qualities (German: Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften) is generally considered to be one of the most important and influential modernist novels.
