Item description from seller

British Rule and economic trends. 7. Railway and transport in economy. 8. Progress of industrialization. 9. Labour Movement and economy. 10. Indian social system. 11. Socio religious reforms. Index. The economic system of any country is geared to satisfy the unlimited wants of its people using scarce resources through organized group behaviour. Hence human behaviour plays an important role in determining economic activity. Human behaviour in turn is influenced to a great extent by social institutions. Hence the economic history of a people is obviously an aspect of their social history and cannot be fully comprehended without reference to it. It is interwoven with the structure and norms of the social institutions of a country and economic developments both influence and in turn are influenced by the social institutions. In short economic development has both social causes and consequences. The two social institutions on the basis of which Indian society has been organized since ancient times are the Hindu Joint Family and the Cast System. Many scholars have put the blame for India's economic backwardness on the shoulders of these two institutions. However a detailed analysis of their characteristics and the changes in them through the ages will reveal that these institutions have not determined economic growth but have certainly influenced its form tempo. 304 pp.
