Social Movements provides direction for examining social movements in India from a sociological point of view. The book seeks to cover important social movements in India like the peasant movement, the Dalit and backward class movement, the tribal movement, the women’s movement, the working-class movement, and the environment movement. Divided into ten chapters, the book also attempts to explain the theoretical perspective, including the types of movements. It deals with the entire spectrum of the issues of various movements, their causes, and consequences.
In any society around the globe, movement is an inherent phenomenon that is mainly due to the ‘dissatisfaction’ of the people with the system. Besides understanding this dissatisfaction in a scientific way, the book also tries to understand the collective actions, collective behaviour, and collective mobilization during the movement. In this regard, the book will be useful to students and researchers as well as all those who want to understand the nature of movements in India. ---provided by publisher
