Summary:
"When Ram Gharib Chaube met William Crooke, the civil servant had scholarly aspirations, and the young Ram Gharib Chaube had yet-unused scholarly skills. They held the same academic degree-Bachelor of Arts. Behind this small coincidence lay forces of global history and trade. Their respective alma maters, Presidency College in Calcutta and Trinity College in Dublin, were separated by thousands of miles, but were part of the same colonial education system. Against the backdrop of this coincidence began an association which was to give a new perspective to colonial anthropology and determine the patterns of their professional and personal lives...."
