The Social System and Culture of Modern India

According to Arnold J. Toynbee, India is a world in itself; it is a society of the same immensity and importance as is our Western society. In global perspective, the immensity, diversity, and unique importance of Indian society and culture can hardly be underestimated. This reference volume, first published in 1975, encompasses studies that reflect both the unity and diversity of Indias culture and social system.
