520			_aOur aim in 'The Indian Century' is to publish works of impeccable research that are not narrow or monographic and which illuminate, in some large and broad way, the historical shifts in modern India's economy, polity, society, and culture. Through the twentieth century and beyond, four profound trans formations have worked their way across the land and people of India. In the economic realm, India is moving from a near-total dependence on agriculture to an increasing reliance on industry and services. In the realm of politics, India has gone from being a colony of the British to becoming a sovereign nation. Sociologically speaking, India no longer 'lives in her villages' (as Mahatma Gandhi said it did); more and more Indians now base themselves in cities and towns. And in the domain of culture, India is changing from a society based on feudal, hierarchical values to a society that more fully reflects the ambitions and aspirations of modern, participatory democracy.
