Changing Indian Society

Changing Indian society for failing to engage with key issues such as poverty class and caste-based reservations and to respond to the multiple crises that beset the nation, he notes how these issues are complicated by the processes of identity formations the functioning of institutions and globalisation. Indian society as a multicultural entity composed of different ethnic origins, various religions, and belonging to a variety of speech communities, and yet bonded together as a nation, sharing a common polity and economy. Modernization emerged in the late 19th century and was especially popular among scholars in the mid-20th century. One foremost advocate was Harvard sociologist Talcott Parsons.
