Synopsis

The dissertation focuses on the Edward Gait Collection (1916), along with Sarat Chandra Roy’s photographic collection (1916) from Chotanagpur in the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA), Cambridge. It will cover the relation between Gait and Roy, in respect of their contributions in the growth of Indian Anthropology in British colonial India. It will examine how these important figures influenced one another in the context of emerging post-Enlightenment disciplines such as archaeology, anthropology and museology. It sheds light on how they perceived the future of ethnographic collecting in view of collection in Cambridge from Chotanagpur.
