Summary: As the title of the book indicates, it deals with sociological analysis of the society in India. The first chapter starts with a discussion of the historical moorings of the Indian society. Indian society has its historical moorings in traditional Hindu social or- ganisation. Tbis organisation however has not been static as has been wrongly supposed by so many western sociologists. The socio-cultural dynamics in India undoubtedly started from the Hindu social organisation but passed through the ages involving the impact of Buddhism, Islam and the modern west. This evolution led to both continuity as well as cbange. Indian society today exhibits so many traditional elements but no less elements of change. In fact continuity with change is the ideal of evolution.
