Comprising two parts, the article focuses on the closure in 1966 of Contributions to Indian Sociology, the journal founded in 1957 by Louis Dumont and David Pocock. The two authors, T.N. Madan and Adrian C. Mayer, write about the transition of Contributions to Indian Sociology to Contributions to Indian Sociology: New Series in 1967. Their recollections are based on their correspondence with Dumont and each other. The intention is to place on record the origin and scope of the two journals.
