The articles and reviews included herein have been written at different times and places under diverse conditions. All the pieces and directly or indirectly addressed to the fundamental theoretical issue of what holds the society together or how the individuals are integrated into their social milieu. This question has been answered here by following the lead given by Emile Durkheim in his celebrated work Division of Labour in Society, and also by seeking to extend it further by examining its implications for the contemporary Indian society. The main conclusion is that in order to improve the conditions of our existence, we will have to effectively organize our affairs according to the changing circumstances.
