This
book presents a holistic perspective of the intricate
relationships between the four important social institutions
(Kinship and Marriage, Political, Economic and Religious).
It not only explains the dynamics and the significance
of each institution but also outlines how these institutions
influence the patterned behaviours in the society.
The author has used micro level results of a five-year
study in a rural setting to describe the Khasi society.
The book will be useful for scholars, development
practitioners, policy-makers and general readers.
