The Process of Social Change in India: Sociological Analysis
Abstract: Social change refers to modification of social structures and processes over time. In India, the old caste system-based on the theory of purity and pollution has undergone a slight transformation. The rule of law has largely replaced the caste panchayats which enforced cast-based customs and regulations. The traditional joint family system supported by ancestral property has undergone radical changes. According to F. Abraham (2006: 246) The process of democracy has significantly altered the power structures and led to the empowerment of new power elites drawn from the backward classes.
