Synopsis

Initially, the book offers a clear overview of modernity, globalization, and social stratification. Part I explores modernity's concept and theories of modernism and postmodernism. Building on this, Part II examines sociological aspects of environment, climate change, Indian diaspora, Sansis tribe, Covid-19, and science-society relations. Part III delves into caste stratification and social mobility, focusing on Scheduled Castes post-Independence. The book reveals India's non-conformity to Western modernity's universalist hypothesis, highlighting disparities between external and internal modernity/globalization features. Consequently, India stands as one of multiple modernities worldwide. Given global risks in the capitalist globalization era, the book suggests a radical shift in the current LPG development paradigm to mitigate risks and achieve a just, sustainable future for all.
