Regarding contents of the book: Topics Covered

The book starts with an introduction of Indian Society, historical moorings, and various sociological perspectives and approaches. The author then explores the salient features of Indian Society. The caste system is covered in depth with its due focus on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

There are separate chapters for Village India, Urbanisation, and Globalisation. An entire chapter is dedicated to brief some important concepts like postmodernism and multiculturalism. Topics highly relevant for exams like Women Issues, Population, Religion, Secularism, Communalism, Minorities, and Regionalism are properly explained.

The book ends with the chapter on ‘Changing Indian Society’. A lot of current social issues like ‘honour killing’, ‘cyber crimes’, and ‘consumerism’, and ‘new middle class’ are included in the book.

Note: At the end of each chapter, a set of questions along with indicative answers are given.

Buy the original version #SayNoToPiracy

Use of pirated books, photocopies, or PDFs – without rewarding the efforts made by the author and publisher – is not only unethical but also criminal.

The pirated versions are usually of low-paper quality, poor print standards, and prone to many errors. Always buy the original versions, with McGraw Hill hologram sticker.
