The Modernity of Tradition : Political Development in India
Rudolph, Lloyd I.
The Modernity of Tradition : Political Development in India / Lloyd I. Rudolph and Susanne Hoeber Rudolph - 1st Indian Edition - New Delhi : Orient Blackswan Private Limited , 2010. - x, 306 p. ; 24 cm.
The Modernity of Tradition is a classic work in Indian political sociology. The authors challenge the view that tradition and modernity are opposing forces. Using examples from Indian politics, they argue that traditional institutions such as caste, kinship, and local leadership have adapted to modern democratic processes rather than disappearing. The book shows how elections, political parties, and democratic participation in India have incorporated traditional social structures, creating a distinctive pattern of political development. It remains an influential study of modernization, democracy, and political change in India.
