About the Book
The Hindu Family in Its Urban Setting by Aileen D. Ross is a pioneering sociological study that examines how urbanization and industrialization reshape the traditional Hindu family structure. Through in-depth case studies of middle and upper-class Hindu families in South India, the book explores how migration from rural to urban areas triggers significant shifts in responsibility, authority, and emotional bonds within the family.
Key insights include:
-
The breakdown of the joint family system into smaller urban units
-
Shifting affectional ties from mother-son to husband-wife relationships
-
Changes in authority, responsibility, and family dynamics
-
The tensions and conflicts that arise during the transitional stage of modernization
Ross skillfully analyzes the ecological, social, and emotional substructures of families, covering topics like education, work, marriage, and friendship patterns in the context of urban life. This seminal work offers a valuable perspective for sociologists, social workers, and anyone interested in the evolution of Indian family life.
