Indian Village is widely considered a classic. Since its publication, over six decades ago, the book has received immense acclaim, attaining extraordinary success, especially as the first book on a single village in post-Second World War South Asia. Indeed, the work represents a key statement of the wider shift from tribe to village in Indian anthropology, part of the movement away from studies of isolated groups toward writings on con-temporary communities in the sociology of the subcontinent. Written in an accessible, intimate manner, Indian Villageneeds to be understood today as a flagship endeavour of the social sciences in a young, independent India-a study that continues to be generously cited, including as a model monograph, in the disciplines at large. | Indian Village by S.
