Social Stratification and Change in India
By- Yogendra Singh
The book offers a profile of Indian sociology in terms of its concepts and theories. It carries the reader through the creative historical period of Indian sociology following independence up to the end of the nineties. It reviews critically the studies conducted during this period on the themes of social change. Its focus is on the adequacy of concepts and theoretical schemes in these studies, but in course of this examination the dilemmas and structural contradictions in the process of social stratification and change in India have also been exposed. Prepared originally as trend reports on concepts and theories of social stratification and change in India the book carries a new and updated introduction on the two substantive themes in a conceptual theoretical perspective.
The book is in many ways sociology on Indian sociology. It exposes the foundations of concepts and theories on which most Indian studies on social stratification and change are based.
Yogendra Singh is Professor of Sociology in the Centre for the Study of Social Systems at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. He has taught and lectured at several universities in India and abroad, and done field work in Asian countries.
