[@venugopalreddy9257]

Thank you so much sir. You made my job easier. I was struggling to understand Anthropological theories. Now, I got complete picture about functionalism. Please make more videos on the concepts like Sacred complex, Sanskritization process explained by M N Srinivas etc.,

Functionalism is defined as a study of interconnectedness between different social works in a particular culture. It requires intensive field work irrespective of the type of Culture it is. Malinowski studied the Trobriand islanders and theorised the Kula ring. For example -How fishing is connected with magic, Religion and Economy of trobriand islanders Malinowski was the 1st person to propogate Functionalism. He also emphasised on need functionalism.

Only in 2* speed it’s somewhat listenable. Too slow explanation may loose the focus from listening

Thank you a lot sir. I was able to understand the topic better

[@hritikkulkarni1343]

Thank you sir. Sir how can I contact you?

[@shahidkhan3985]

When u talk about functionalism start with Durkheim.
And if u are deliberating on structuralism then u can say Mallinowski was the first thinker.
You shouldnt confuse its main different theoretical strings viz Structural functionalism, social functionalism, neo functionalism.
Needs improvement.

[@deepika7491]

Great initiative by MHRD. It helped me a lot in my studies because I couldn't find the books. But I have a request that please upload some more videos on Sociology and also in hindi so that many other students can be benefited.

Thanks sir.You help us to learn anthropology in the easier way

[@Dileep_Champion]

Sir, you are dragging one single point again and again... Any how, but your explanation is simple and good... But it should be organised... Also show more slides and cut short the explanation to make it interesting.... Otherwise, whatever you think randomly you will explain.... Thank you for the intiative and your work...

[@AnnieB007]

Criticism was expected to be detailed... more explanations were required on criticism... How it ignored historical process, social inequalities etc, should be in detailed explanations... No hard feeling, it's just a suggestion...
