About the Book
India is currently witnessing a period where the forces of unification and segregation are strongly influencing the living and thinking systems of all its communities. While modernization and technological advancements were once thought to lead to the decline of traditional ties, ethno-political movements are becoming stronger in different states. Despite these forces, traditional institutions continue to adapt to the changes brought by globalization, allowing age-old practices like caste, kinship, and regional ties to flourish in contemporary India.
This edited volume, presented in honor of Dr. Ishwar P. Modi, brings together scholarly contributions that provide in-depth discussions on the evolving societal structures within India. It includes essays on both theoretical and ethnographic elements of Indian society and covers a wide array of topics such as social justice, ethnicity, identity, tribal movements, globalization, caste dynamics, media influence, and youth transitions.
The book presents a variety of perspectives, including Indian and Brazilian sociology, offering new insights into the changing landscape of social organization and the challenges facing marginalized communities. From examining the transformation of the postcolonial village to understanding the gender dynamics within rural communities, the chapters address critical social issues and their implications in the context of globalization and modernization.
This volume is an essential resource for scholars, students, and researchers interested in contemporary social change and transformation, especially in the Indian context. It provides valuable insights into how traditional institutions and modern forces are intersecting, reshaping identity, and influencing policies.
