Reviews

'The study is remarkable in the spread of its coverage, the objectivity and range of the analysis and its time-span. Its empathy with village culture and individuals' aspirations is likely to make it one of the great classic studies of rural development, as well as a mine of information for future historians of Indian society in the 20th century' - Worldaware
