R. DESAI applied Marxist approach to study Indian society.<strong> He used dialectical historical model to study Indian society. <\/strong>He<strong> rejects any interpretations of tradition with reference to religion, rituals and festivities<\/strong>. Desai framed an <strong>interdisciplinary sociology<\/strong> and <strong>used the method of participant observation and fieldwork<\/strong> to understand Indian social structure and capture the processes of change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Main_body\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #800000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Main body: <\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Significant Features of Dialectical Perspective of A R Desai To Study Society<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Nature of society<\/strong>: A.R. DESAI says Indian society went from feudal economy to capitalist economy due to the British conquest of India. The introduction of economic reforms of the British government disrupted the old economic systems. The village commune was replaced by modern peasants proprietors or zamindars, as private owners of land.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Agrarian class structure <\/strong>: According to DESAI Indian agrarian class structure changed to capitalist form , where multiple classes existed due to commercialization of agriculture , fragmentation of land\u00a0 resulted in growing polarization of classes in agrarian areas, poverty in rural areas and exploitation by the owner of land.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tradition:<\/strong> Desai rejected <strong>any interpretation of tradition with reference to religion, rituals and festivities. It is essentially a secular phenomenon. Its nature is economic and it originates and develops in economics.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Transformation of Indian Society:\u00a0 Desai <\/strong>does not deny the necessity of understanding the institution like caste, religion, linguistic or tribal groups or even specific cultural traditions which are characteristics of Indian society. He however supports the endeavors to understand their role in and the nature of <strong>their transformation in the larger context of the type of society , which is being evolved , understand them in the matrix of underlying overall property relations and norms implicit therein, which pervasively influence the entire social economic formation.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">Peasant struggle: <\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">He examines peasant struggle in two volumes entitled \u201cPEASANT STRUGGLES IN INDIA\u201d and \u201cPEASANT STRUGGLES IN INDIA AFTER INDEPENDENCE&#8221;. He analyze the struggle before independence and post-independence by highlighting the difference in character of struggle by saying that agrarian struggle in present is war wage by the <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">newly emerged propertied class as well as agrarian poor , especially agrarain proletariat.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The propertied class fight for greater share in the fruits of development. The poor comprising pauperized peasants and laborers belonging to low caste and tribal communities struggle for survival and for better life for themselves.<\/strong> Thus Desai maintained that progress can be achieved only by radically transforming the exploitative capitalist system in India.<\/li>\n<li><strong style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">State and society: in \u201cSTATE AND SOCIETY IN INDIA\u201d Desai <\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">provided a critique of the theories of modernisation accepted by large number of academic establishments. He says modernisationn serves as a valuable ideological vehicle to ruling class pursuing the capitalistic path. In an essay <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">\u201cTHE MYTH OF THE WELFARE STATE\u201d Desai provided a detailed picture critique of notion. According to him an ideal welfare state has three core features<u>:<\/u><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: circle;\">\n<li><u>It is democratic<\/u><\/li>\n<li><u>It is mixed economy<\/u><\/li>\n<li><u>It is positive state rather then being lazzie faire state<\/u><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But according to him state has failed to remove poverty, reduce income gaps eliminate social discrimination check the capitalistic greed and provide employment to all.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Village<\/strong>: according to Desai village was historically evolved much before pre British era and the village as a social unit was a relatively self-sufficient unit in economic dimension. It\u00a0never had considerable exchange reaction with outside world and relation within village was feudal in nature. He saw JAJAMANI system as exploitative one<strong>. However introduction of land revenue system introduced by Britishers led to capitalist mode of production in village.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">Urban society:<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\"> in urban society there is also capitalist industrial working class, petty traders, and professional class like doctors, lawyers and engineers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">Caste<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">: Desai thinks that when tradition is linked with economic relations, the change in economy would eventually change the traditions. According to him <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">caste inherits an underdeveloped but potential class character. <\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">\u00a0It is in this context that he thinks that <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">caste will disintegrate with the creation of new social and material conditions, such as industries, economic growth, education etc. He even sees reservation as deliberate attempt of state to glorify the segmentation of society.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">Contradictions in Indian Society and Social Unrest:<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">Emerging contradictions in India&#8217;s social transformation stem primarily from the growing <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">nexus among capitalists, rural petty bourgeoisie, and the state apparatus, all originating from similar roots. <\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">This nexus hinders the <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\"><em>aspirations of rural and industrial working classes through its power and strategic maneuvers.<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\"> These contradictions persist, evolving into new cumulative forms and reemerging as protests and social movements. Social unrest finds its roots in India&#8217;s adoption of a capitalist path, inheriting this legacy from the national movement<\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Limitations of \u2018Dialectical Perspective\u2019 to study Indian society <\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Desai\u2019s approach for understanding Indian Society from the economic dimension is not always the best way to understand the society.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Desai\u2019s approach of understanding Indian <strong>Society is not empirical based.<\/strong> According to <strong>YOGENDRA SINGH the important limitation of dialectical perspective applied by Desai for studies of social change in India is lack of substantial empirical data<\/strong> in support of his major assertions, which are often historiographical and can easily be challenged.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a bid to give <strong>importance to material aspects, it ignored the importance of religion and culture in the lives of people of India<\/strong>. Religion occupies an important place in Indian society and world view of people is influenced by it. <strong>This perspective is not capable of portraying a total view of social reality in India and takes only a materialistic view.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another deficiency is <strong>ignoring caste as the basis of traditional Hindu social organization.<\/strong> Caste was often equated with class which generated an over-simplistic view of the pattern of social inequalities.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Over emphasis upon conflict led them to overlook aspects of integration and solidarity of Indian society. <\/strong>For example, institutions like Jajmani system and panchayats were also seen as exploitative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #800000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Conclusion: <\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In theoretical terms however , dialectical approach can be more visible for analysis of the processes of change and conflict in India provided it is founded upon sound tradition of scientific research. Despite this limitation some studies conducted on this model offer useful hypothesis, which can be further tested in course of the studies on social change.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Blogs%E2%80%A6\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #ff0000;\">Related Blogs&#8230;<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/louis-dumonts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17280\" src=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/277-1-300x241.jpg\" alt=\"Louis Dumont's Ideological Focus in Understanding Indian Society through, Best Sociology Optional Coaching, Sociology Optional Syllabus.\" width=\"300\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/277-1-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/277-1-1024x824.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/277-1-150x121.jpg 150w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/277-1-768x618.jpg 768w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/277-1-1536x1236.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/277-1-2048x1648.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/same-sex-marriage-in-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16952\" src=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Add-a-heading-45-300x241.jpg\" alt=\"Same-Sex Marriage in India: Legal Challenges, Societal Impact, and Government's Stand, Best Sociology Optional Coaching, Sociology Optional Syllabus.\" width=\"300\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Add-a-heading-45-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Add-a-heading-45-1024x824.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Add-a-heading-45-150x121.jpg 150w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Add-a-heading-45-768x618.jpg 768w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Add-a-heading-45-1536x1236.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Add-a-heading-45-2048x1648.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15254\" src=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-300x50.jpg\" alt=\"Symbolic Interactionism Sociology, Symbolic interaction, meaningful symbols, social interaction, human behavior, language, dramaturgical analysis, labeling approach, sociological theories, critical analysis.\" width=\"822\" height=\"137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-1024x171.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-150x25.jpg 150w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-768x128.jpg 768w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-1536x256.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/7-2048x341.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 822px) 100vw, 822px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">To master these intricacies and fare well in the <strong>Sociology Optional Syllabus,<\/strong> aspiring sociologists might benefit from guidance by the <strong>Best Sociology Optional Teacher<\/strong> and participation in the <strong>Best Sociology Optional Coaching.<\/strong> These avenues provide comprehensive assistance, ensuring a solid understanding of sociology&#8217;s diverse methodologies and techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>META TAGS:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A.R.

Choosing the right optional subject, like choosing the <strong><em>best sociology optional teacher<\/em><\/strong>, is a subjective yet vital step that requires a thoughtful decision based on facts.
