About The Book

Cultural reorientation in all spheres of Indian society has been one of the most significant developments of the twentieth centuries. Values are, by common consent, central to culture. So an academic excursion into the reorientation of culture would be incomplete without an exploration of some way by which academic intervention may help to reorient culture and values.

This book contains lively and fruitful information about the process of cultural reorientation and is valuable for all who interested.

Preface

In India, cultural reorientation in all spheres of the society has been one of the most significant developments of the twentieth centuries. The legacy of that cultural transformation and .resurgence is still with us, and demands understanding and conscious assessment. The sociocultural legacy of colonial rule in India is at least as important as its legacy in political, economic or institutional terms.

The European contact with India brought about an unprecedented change not only in the spheres of politics and economy but also in social structure and intellectual and emotional culture. A concomitant of this change was a large degree of sociocultural regeneration and resurgence. However, the historians of India have shown greater concern for imperial polity, colonial economy and the rise of nationalism in the Indian subcontinent than for sociocultural change.

Values are, by common consent, central to culture. So an academic excursion into the reorientation of culture would be incomplete without an exploration of some way by which academic intervention may help to reorient culture and values. Many values to which societies under study ascribe, especially stable peace, cannot be realised unless tribalism is superseded at least to a degree. Therefore, the drive to achieve fuller realisation of values requires not only a change in the quality of society but also a change in the boundaries of the units of control and of responsiveness.
