Synopsis

There has occurred a phenomenal change in the institutions of kinship, marriage, caste, power and economy. The total social stratification has taken a new shape. Even, the tribal India, which was based on kinship and barter economy, has entered into the mainstream structure. Indian traditions have increasingly become modern. Some of the segments of society in advanced industrial cities have come to the threshold of postmodernity.The weaker sections – scheduled tribes, scheduled castes and women – have now become extremely ‘sensitive’ and up in arms on any trivial provocation. Awakening has touched a point where these “wretched of the earth” are ready to commit any kind of mutiny. There is enough research material on social and cultural change in India. Caste, family, kinship and village have kept our sociologists and anthropologists fully occupied with these institutions. Our ethnographic material is perhaps the richest in the world. We have also constructed a few concepts, which help us to analyze the trend of social change.
