Eight villages in seven different linguistic areas and five provinces of India are here illuminated by detailed analyses of caste, community, structure, personality, religion, world view, and the current forces of social change. As component units within a complex, ancient, and today newly important civilization, Indian villages offer a challenging field for study of peasant culture and society.
