Bose was originally from [[Kolkata]]. His anthropological work was founded on extensive field work and had a pragmatic prescriptive basis, and was considered{{By whom|date=May 2010}} radical against the background of earlier descriptive work by British anthropologists. He wanted Indian intellectuals to work on Indian anthropology. According to [[Andre Beteille]], Bose showed that the idea that one gets of Indian society by looking at classical texts and the idea that one gets of Indian society by conducting anthropological fieldwork in fact confirm each other; they confirm a picture of a particular kind of social structure. But Bose went on to argue that such a social structure was being dislocated from the middle of 19th century onwards as India became involved more and more in a world economic system, in larger political conflicts, etc.<ref>{{Citation|title=Interview of Andre Beteille|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWKFnqfUDNY|language=en|access-date=2021-03-09}}</ref> | Bose was originally from [[Kolkata]].
