Divided into two sections, it delves into the theoretical and conceptual dimensions of social stratification and mobility, alongside a detailed examination of empirical studies focusing on caste, class, ethnicity, power, social inequality, and social mobility in the Indian context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eK.L. Sharma challenges traditional notions of caste, class, and rural-urban divides, emphasizing how these long-standing distinctions have transformed in contemporary India. The book critiques the traditional caste-class polarity and the division between urban and rural life, arguing that these constructs no longer hold relevance in the face of structural and cultural shifts. Sharma highlights how these changes have led to the emergence of new patterns of social stratification and mobility, with a fresh system of theoretical and conceptual frameworks that negate the conventional understanding of these social divides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough an interdisciplinary approach, the book explores how new questions arising from ongoing social changes create new situations and social encounters. The text encourages readers to think critically about how these emerging dynamics are reshaping India's social landscape, providing insights that challenge established definitions and ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is an essential resource for students, scholars, and researchers interested in understanding social stratification and mobility, particularly in the Indian context, and offers new perspectives on the evolving social order in India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Theoretical and Methodological Issues\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDefining Social Stratification\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasic Concepts Relating to Social Stratification\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheories of Social Stratification\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions of Social Stratification\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen and Closed Systems of Social Stratification\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Caste System: Continuity and Change\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmerging Patterns of Social Stratification in India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCulture and Social Stratification\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSocial Stratification in Rural-Agrarian Setting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSocial Stratification in Urban-Industrial Setting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSocial Stratification and the Weaker Sections\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGender and Social Stratification\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSocial Mobility\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew Dimensions in the Studies of Caste, Class, Ethnicity, and Power\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eK.L.
