Summary, etc. Change is inherent in the nature of culture. No culture is static and it is a permanent factor of human civilization, which goes on everywhere and at all times. The Bhils commonly known as the desert dwellers or the bowmen are the largest tribal group in the Arravali belt of Rajasthan. It is believed that they are the oldest inhabitants of Indian continent. Hence these Arravalli dwellers came across the different agents of change. There was a time, when they assisted the Rajputs and revealed their gallantry against the Britishers.<br/><br/>To evaluate the nature and its direction of change, the author tried to explore the Bhils in their present stage and also made an effort to compare them from pre-independence and independence Bhils. Hence the study post endeavours to draw a chronology of change coming to oldest inhabitants from its ancient times to oflate with the main focus on post-independence period of the Bhils in India.<br/><br/>The study gives an idea about the situation of a particular tribe in almost in all aspects and it also helps us to know as how these bowmen's social structure altered in the light of awareness, education and the contacts with the non tribals which mobilised them from their conventional professions, in which agriculture to the most recent Bhil not only the young boys but also the young girls are involved.<br/><br/>The impact of the development plans and programmes in the light of the wider notions of culture change has also been assessed accordingly to view its effect as a known planned change coming to the Bhil tribe. Banton's model of acculturation is conversed in the study, which helps to discern as to how the Bhils started changing and now in what direction the society is altering.<br/><br/>The book could be helpful for study of structural change or cultural change of any society as it throws light on the different facets of structures, which are altering the Bhil tribe and it also indicates the direction and nature of change coming to the society.
