Abstract: Professor Durganand Sinha was a cross–cultural psychologist with wide–ranging interests and yet firmly rooted in the culture of India. He was the chief proponent of the ecocultural framework which considers human diversity (both cultural and psychological) to be a set of collective and individual adaptations to the given context. From this perspective, it is considered that individuals are born into some extant set of social and cultural arrangements, and that their constant interaction with their ecological surroundings leads to both psychological and cultural changes. Sinha maintained a delicate balance between the cross–cultural comparative and the culturally–rooted character of psychology in his work. Sinha's scholarship was fundamentally driven by social concerns, both within India and outside.
