| Abstract: | In this article the authors discuss aspects of political and social developments in India. The article arises from the 2008 trip to India undertaken by the authors in company with several American sociologists. A number of factors in Indian life are examined including the impact on the country of significant economic development, the role that caste plays in Indian society and the status of women in India. The authors' observations of India are contrasted with those recorded in the book "The Vast Majority," by Michael Harrington, published in 1977. |
