Book Description
Reprinted in India for the first time, the book is now a classic text in the field of sociology and political science. It has greatly influenced our understanding of political development in a conservative, tradition-bound society like India. By showing that caste groups, as other traditional ascriptive groups, reassert their identity in different modern contexts in new ways, the book has given us a new perspective and understanding of the complexities of political development and social change in India.

Book Description
Designed for undergraduate and graduate courses in Indian civilization and history, this text provides a sweeping look at the long and varied history of India and how this complex legacy has shaped, and is shaping, the nation's modern polity. It offers unique political-historical coverage of India from pre-history into the 21st century. Part I offers an overview of Pre-modern India from pre-history to 1857. Part II covers India under the British from 1859 to 1947. Part III, the major portion of the text, looks at Independent India after 1947. An Epilogue brings the book full circle, with a portrait of modern India contrasted to modern China, mirroring the comparison of traditional India with traditional China in the opening chapters.

Book Description
This volume is primarily a self-presentation of Indian sociologists and their recent theoretical and empirical research endeavors. It provides an opportunity for diagnosing what Indian sociologists have identified as the most important issues for various social communities. The book also helps reproduce the idiomatic interpretation of modernization in the colonial and postcolonial contexts. And, last but not least, it offers a convenient point of departure for reflection on Western Europe and its international role-modeling function. The book offers an excellent review of universality, rationality, and diversity in post-colonial India, demonstrating that it makes sense to translate the Western world of modernization into the categories and images of Indian capitalist modernization. By approaching the determinants, mechanisms, and consequences of this translation so comprehensively and insightfully, it directs attention towards European modernization rationale and helps take stock of European sociological achievements.
