Sources of Social Change in India

PROFESSOR M N Srinivas was invited to deliver the Tagore Lectures for the academic year 196263 at the University of California, Berkeley. He chose "Social change in Modern India" as his theme and delivered three lectures on it in May 1963. Srinivas' theme is the subject of experience of every Indian. Change is disapproved by some, approved by some others with the reservation that it should be at a slower pace; some others want more of it and more rapidly: As a social scientist Srinivas takes the position of a detached observer and looks at change through the glasses of a sociologist or a social anthropologist, as he prefers to call himself. He attempts to answer the questions "what is the direction of change in modern India", "what is the orientation of this change?" and "what are the sources of this orientation?"
