India is a home of several castes, tribes, ethnic groups and communities with varied social backgrounds. Each one of them has its own distinct identity in terms of traditions, festivals, habits and patterns of living. Yet, they all constitute a single and integrated nation. It is this paradoxical aspect, which Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of Independent India, called ‘Unity in diversity’. For such a wide variety of socio-cultural factors, India is said to have each day a celebration. Indian society is traditionally male-dominated. However, females are given due respect. Since they form an essential part of society, their rights to liberty, education, employment, etc. have been safeguarded by the constitution of India. This work, Indian Social System is a comprehensive and exhaustive study, dealing with various aspects of Indian social system, at micro level.
