About the Book
Culture Change in India: Identity and Globalization is an in-depth exploration of how Indian cultural values, institutions, and identities adapt in the face of globalization. Written by eminent sociologist Yogendra Singh, the book examines how India’s social structure, historical legacies, and regional diversity influence the pace and direction of cultural change.
The text investigates the relationship between tradition and modernity, the pressures of economic and cultural globalization, and the resilience of Indian society in maintaining its unique cultural identity. Through discussions on popular culture, leisure, electronic media, migration, and political leadership, Singh provides a nuanced understanding of how globalization impacts communities at local, regional, and national levels.
