The
present book is divided into two parts: the structural
imperative of the region; and the various aspects
of social change. While the first part with its six
chapters provides the geographical, historical, ethnic,
religious and societal background of the region on
the larger context, the second part delineates specificity
of the transformation in terms of agrarian, urban,
environmental and technological situations in the
next five chapters.
This book may prove useful to the scholars of anthropology,
geography, history, sociology and political science,
besides administrators and planners.
