The village has been the significant social unit on the
Indian subcontinent for thousands of years. To maintain its
integrity it has developed a set of interlocking structures,
some of which are unique to the subcontinent, which are very
resistant to change. The Indian national government passed
legislation which provided for the formation of new structures
of political allocation without providing the basis of support
for changing the other related structures existing within
the village. This thesis attempts to show why this particular
change, advocated by the state and national governments, failed. / Arts, Faculty of / Anthropology, Department of / Graduate
