About the Book

समाजशास्त्र कोश (Sociology Dictionary) by Harikrishna Rawat is an essential reference for Hindi-speaking readers interested in sociology. This book aims to make sociology more accessible to a wider audience by providing a comprehensive glossary of approximately 2,000 key terms and concepts in the field. The book also includes detailed explanations of the nuances between similar concepts, offering a historical perspective to enhance understanding.

After India’s independence, the need to adapt sociology to regional and national languages led to the creation of this dictionary, which fills the gap in organized and authentic sociology literature in Hindi. It has received significant praise, particularly in Hindi-speaking regions like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. The updated edition includes new terms and revised explanations, making it an even more valuable resource for students and scholars.

This dictionary is perfect for those seeking a deep understanding of sociology in a concise format. It is particularly useful for students preparing for state and central government competitive exams, providing easy-to-understand definitions and explanations of sociology’s core concepts.
