This volume brings together a set of original essays written in tribute to Andre Beteille, whose work as a sociologist and social anthropologist has been marked by a distinctive combination of theoretical innovation and scrupulous scholarship. These essays, likewise, match theory with empirical data, engaging with, extending and occasionally disputing the arguments of Beteille's work. Most of the essays relate to India, but two explore inequalities in China and Russia, and in Japan and England respectively.
