FEATURES OF INDIAN SOCIETY

Abstract

In the recent past, India's rural society has undergone significant changes, particularly since Independence, as a result of a series of land reform laws that have accelerated the pace of this shift. India is a land of diversity and has a rich cultural heritage. In the multi-social, multi-lingual, multi-religious and multi-caste nature of society, diversity in social life is reflected. Multi-religious and multi-caste social identities and the significant role of the family in social life are the important characteristics of the Indian social structure: prevalent rural housing in small villages.
