Title
Social Structures of Indian Villages: A Study of Rural Bihar,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Invaluable and informative, this study incorporates ingenious sampling procedures and presents a fresh theoretical perspective drawn from role analysis, class analysis, and phenomenology to examine social structures of Indian villages. More specifically, it presents several pertinent features of rural Bihar's social structure for the first time in its history. Jha explores and analyzes rural Bihar through a critical and interdisciplinary approach that can also be applied to societies on a broader scale. This study is uniquely based on historical records prepared at the beginning of the century, as well as on traditional survey data. These historical records enabled Jha to classify the villages into categories on a simplecomplex continuum, which assisted in preparing the sample of the villages and providing empirical grounds for the concept of a ruralurban continuum. This pioneering volume will be of interest to sociologists, anthropologists, and those engaged in rural development. 'This book deals with very important areas of contemporary sociological studies.'

Clearly, comparative studies such as this one are uniquely capable of revealing the distinctive features of the phenomena being compared. The study also illuminates significant intraregional social differences in a region generally considered homogeneous.'
