About the Book
The history of the development of sociology spans almost 175 years, marked by the contributions of numerous sociologists. Foreign sociologists like Auguste Comte, Herbert Spencer, Karl Marx, Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, Vilfredo Pareto, and Pitirim Sorokin made substantial contributions to understanding human society through their various theories.

In India, several monumental thinkers contributed significantly to understanding Indian society. Indian sociologists have conducted in-depth studies on topics such as culturalization, the dominant caste, joint families, and more. This book covers the major contributions and studies of Radhakamal Mukerjee, D.P. Mukerji, and G.S. Ghurye, among others.

This book is particularly useful for students and researchers interested in understanding both global and Indian society. It is expected to serve as an essential resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students.
