Social scientists generally write about the national or international affairs and rarely do they come down to the lower levels. They may write about villages but somehow the middling towns do not attract their attention. This is about a middling town–Nellore to be precise, which is the southern boundary of Andhra Pradesh. Every textbook of Indian history shows Nellore as the boundary of Emperor Ashoka and Aurangazeb. It had its own history and its own, heroes–men and women–who contributed to the making of this country’s history. This ethnic study describes and analyses the social and political movements, its peculiarities in an apparently light-hearted manner, though if one were to think deeply about them, one can find the national character being reflected in them. This is not completely typical of Indian townships, though through this microcosmic study one can discern the dynamics of townships in India. This book is of immense use to all students and teachers of political science, sociology and public administration.
