About the Book

भारतीय समाज विवस्था (Bhartiya Samaj Vivastha) is a profound exploration of the intricacies and transformations within Indian society. The book begins with the critical analysis of social systems, laying the foundation for understanding the organizational structure and direction of societal changes. These societal structures are not merely aggregates of individuals but are dynamic complexities of relationships and boundaries that continually evolve. The book delves into the role of social change, especially how shifts in these systems can cause them to adjust in response to new conditions.

In the context of Indian society, the book addresses pressing concerns such as the rise of anarchy and normlessness, the complex nature of inter-religious and inter-caste conflicts, and the political and religious transformations affecting the social fabric. The notion of secularism is challenged, and communalism finds new relevance in contemporary settings. Despite these challenges, development and modernization remain unshaken, with traditional systems adjusting rather than disintegrating.

The author attempts to analyze the nature of adjustment within sub-systems of Indian society and provides insights into social change and the shifting paradigms that govern it. The book is especially valuable for anyone looking to understand the diverse social structures and their evolving interplay within Indian society.
