Over the years, this historic work, which provides a comprehensive picture of the emergence of rural society in India, has become a classic text. With greater emphasis being placed on rural development for the transformation of the life and conditions of the rural populace, the study of rural society is gaining importance not only among the sociologists and economists but also among the administrators, policy makers and politicians. Rural Sociology in India attempts to present in one volume significant writings from the large body of literature on various aspects of Indian rural society. It discusses the multiple viewpoints of the diverse methods and techniques adopted to study the different domains of rural society, portraying its multi-sided and complex nature. This book provides the crucial theoretical projection about the future of not merely the agrarian social order, but also that of the underdeveloped countries as a whole. The readings chosen in this volume will help students to understand the diverse aspects of Indian rural life and stimulate their interest to undertake further studies on this subject.

This historically significant text has been referred to for over sixty years as an indispensable body of knowledge for the understanding of the dynamics of Indian nationalism. This book presents a comprehensive study of the transformation of Indian society through a century and a half and the resultant rise of Indian nationalism in various forms―social, cultural, religious, economic and political. It gives a historical, synthetic and systematic account of the genesis of Indian nationalism. Employing the method of historical materialism to an analysis of Indian history of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the author has been able to single out and assess various forces that have contributed to the massiveness of nationalistic influence. This is virtually the only book that provides such a comprehensive and systematic account of the genesis of Indian nationalism and national consciousness. It has justly earned itself a valuable place in sociological literature. This edition carries a foreword written by the noted historian Sumit Sarkar.
