Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent theoretical and methodological innovations in the anthropological analysis of South Asian societies have introduced distinctive modifications in the study of Indian social structure and social change. This book, reporting on twenty empirical studies of Indian society conducted by outstanding scholars, reflects these trends not only with reference to Indian society itself, but also in terms of the relevance of such trends to an understanding of social change more generally.The contributors demonstrate the adaptive changes experienced by the studied groups in particular villages, towns, cities, and regions. The authors view the basic social units of joint family, caste, and village not as structural isolates, but as intimately connected with one another and with other social units through social and cultural networks of various kinds that incorporate the social units into the complex structure of Indian civilization. Within this broadened conception of social structure, these studies trace the changing relations of politics, economics, law, and language to the caste system.Showing that the caste system is dynamic, with upward and downward mobility characterizing it from pre-British times to the present, the studies suggest that the modernizing forces which entered the system since independence--parliamentary democracy, universal suffrage, land reforms, modern education, urbanization, and industrial technology--provided new opportunities and paths to upward mobility, but did not radically alter the system. The chapters in this book show that the study of Indian society reveals novel forms of social structure change. They introduce methods and theories that may well encourage social scientists to extend the study of change in Indian society to the study of change in other areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has a collection of ten articles written during 1982–2007 and an exhaustive introduction on the structural features of Indian society, that is, the enduring social groups, institutions and processes, such as caste, tribe, sect, rural-urban relations, etc. The book views Indian society in contemporary as well as historical perspective, based on a wealth of field research as well as archival material. The book focuses on the significance of village studies in transforming the understanding of Indian society and also shows how urban centres have been useful in shaping society. Taking a critical look at the prevailing thinking on various structures and institutions, the author uses insights derived from his comprehensive studies of kinship, marriage, religion, and grassroots politics in advancing their studies. He points out the strengths and weaknesses of these structures and institutions and the direction in which they are changing with respect to modern time. As against the overwhelming emphasis on the hierarchical dimension of caste, this book focuses on its horizontal dimension, that is, every caste’s population spread over villages and towns in an area, its internal organization and differentiation based on networks of kinship, marriage, patron-client relationship, and role of endogamy versus hypergamy in maintaining its boundaries. The tribes are also seen in the same perspective, emphasizing the tribe-caste homology. Finally, the book provides information on important issues like policy of reservations, the reliability of censuses and surveys of castes and tribes, removal of untouchability, growth of organized religion and secularization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Society Is A System Of Human Organizations Generating Distinctive Cultural Patterns And Institutions And Usually Providing Protection, Security, Continuity And A National Identity For Its Members. Generally Speaking, People, Living Together, Forms A Society Which Can Be Classified Into Different Groups, Depending Upon The Haves And Have-Nots, Their Religion, Caste And Political Status. A Part From Thee Basic Diversities, Language Is One Of The Most Important Factors, Which Go In Drawing A Line Of Distinction Between The Two. In Indian Context, This Diversity Is Most Prominently Above Board. Precisely Put Otherwise, Indian Society Is Rather A Mosaic Made Up Of Myriads Of Different Religious Castes, Creeds And Colours.Through A Long History Of Discontinuities, Contradictions And Alteration In Its Structure, It Has Played A Crucial Role In The Indian Polity. The Gravity Of This Problem Can Easily Be Understood By The Simple Fact That In India, There Exist So Many Political Parties Which Have Rendered Quasi-Impossible For India To Have A One-Party Government Any More.This Encyclopaedia Is The Fruition Of Painstaking, Efforts And Research In This Area Encompassing All Vital Information On Indian Society.
