520			_aThere is yet another distinctive contribution by the doyen of Indian sociology, Dr. G. S. Ghurye. At a time when village studies are a major preoccupation in foreign inspired sociology in India, Dr. Ghurye offers a refreshing contrast. The village of Lonikand was studied by Maj. Coats in 1819 and the same village is now subjected to a searching investigation by one of the foremost sociologists of today. The integrating and pervasive role of religion in the village community is saliently revealed. The structure of the village community its social organisation. the changes through a century and more in bio-social life are recorded and amply commented upon. The pattern of living is brought through description of represen tative families. The book is destined to take its place as a classic among kind. works of its kind.
