Summary, etc. The present book is a<br/>contribution to the growing volume of<br/>sophisticated discussion on caste in<br/>valuable India. The succinct account of the<br/>structure and working of the caste<br/>system in Kheri and Khiria-twwo<br/>villages of comparable size, one locat<br/>ed in Rajasthan and the other in<br/>Madhya Pradesh-presented in this<br/>volume adds significantly to our under-<br/>standing of the regional variations in<br/>the caste system. Dr. Atal's work is<br/>free from an unfortunate tendency<br/>visible in some analytical works on<br/>the forms and processes of Indian<br/>society: they tend to be skimpy in<br/>their documentation.<br/>It is the story of slow change in a<br/>society where nostalgia for tradition<br/>is still strong. It will perhaps dis-<br/>appoint those who rashly predicted<br/>the disintegration of the caste system<br/>in a decade or two. Many will perhaps<br/>find the rate of change too slow.<br/>To cautious and perceptive observers,<br/>however, the trends of change deli-<br/>neated in this book will be heartening.<br/>The classification of the attributes of<br/>caste and the consequent analyses<br/>are useful. The changing aspects of<br/>caste have been carefully analysed in<br/>framework. Comparative trea<br/>ment of two villages, located in settings<br/>that have different historical traditions,<br/>this<br/>has added greatly to the significance<br/>professional social anthropologists<br/>and sociologists will find much to<br/>interest them in this thoughtful book<br/>and other readers who are interested<br/>of the conclusions of the b0ok. The<br/>in social change in India will read it<br/>with interest and profit.
