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.

The Second Half Of The 20Th Century Witnessed Increasingly Rapid Cultural Ferment And Social Transformation, As Access To Media And Communications. Profound Changes Many Of Which Should Improve The Economic And Social Development Of Asia Have Been Initiated By The Industrialization Of The Countries Of Pacific Asia, The Break-Up Of The Soviet Union, The Emergence Of More Democratic Governments, And The Moves Toward Peace In The Middle East. Yet Many Political Problems Remain To Be Solved.In Order To Bring Structural Transformation, Two Sets Of Forces Are Commonly Recognised External And Internal. Scholars, However, Differ About Their Relative Role. In Fact, The Stability And Change In The Indian Society Were Greatly Influenced By Both External And Internal Factors.And More And More Social Scientist Have Come To Hold This View Though It May Not Be 'Easy For Them To Isolate Their Effects Because Of Close Aspects Of Social Transformation And Change.

India has become one of the world's emerging powers, rivaling China in terms of global influence. Yet many people know relatively little about the economic, social, political, and cultural changes unfolding in India today. To what extent are people benefiting from the economic boom? In what ways is education transforming society? And how is India's culture industry responding to technological change? In this "Very Short Introduction", Craig Jeffrey provides a compelling account of the recent history of India, investigating the contradictions that are plaguing modern India and the manner in which people, especially young people, are actively remaking the country in the twenty first century. -- From publisher's description.
