The Relevance of Anthropology in Today’s World
<p>It was a balmy summer afternoon on a Sunday as I was fiddling with the TV remote and came across what seemed like a documentary on an African tribe. It was on National Geographic Channel and my grandfather asked me to stop browsing and watch this. A 14-year-old me was although fascinated with their distinctive hairstyles and multitudes of colourful beads, necklaces, and bracelets; it was also the first time I heard the word “Anthropology”. As the obvious confusion on my face gave away, my grandfather, a professor of Sanskrit at Vidyasagar University, said aloud, “You know Archaeology, right? From those movies you see? You also know Geology, the study of rocks. Your father’s friend is a Geologist. Anthropology is also very interesting. It is the study of humans. No, sorry. It is study of what <em>makes</em> us humans.”</p>
