Description

The pioneering work of sociologist M. N. Srinivas has stimulated intense debate on the structure of Indian society and the changes taking place there. This volume brings together eight of Srinivas's most important essays, centering on three institutions basic to Indian society: village, caste, and joint family. The author brings a fresh outlook to his work, revealing the continuities amidst the changes taking place in India today.
