Description

This volume explores social science ideas from the standpoint of Indian rather than Western cultural realities. The variations are not explored from any single South Asian value or social configuration. The multi-dimensional and dynamic nature of the South Asian social world is brought to vivid life for the first time within the discipline of the social sciences.
