Remembering Professor Brij Raj Chauhan/Jagdish Kumar Pundir. My Guru Chauhan Saheb/Jainendra Kumar Doshi.

Chauhan s revisit to Ranawaton-ki-Sadri in Udaipur district. The book tries to locate the key differences in the village between 1950s and the first decade of the 21st century. Having studied the same village at two points of time, the author had the advantage of deciphering change. As a field anthropologist, he insisted on observation and informal interviews. Enormous secondary data relative to the village and the region was also collected to locate the microcosmic changes occurring in the village as a consequence of urbanization and modernization, democratic decentralization, and the emerging party politics.

Chauhan s students, Yogesh Atal, who has also contributed an essay in his honour.
