Book Summary:
Every society has its own problems. Problems arise due to
many reasons. They are symptoms indicative of underlying causes that need to be
focused on and resolved, in order to make the problems go away.
Social Problems In India thoroughly discusses the various problems in the Indian
society, along with the causes. The book covers the issues in 17 chapters,
providing focused coverage of each particular issue in separate chapters.
The first chapter discusses concepts and approaches in social problems. From the
second chapter onwards, the author focuses on particular issues like Poverty,
Population Explosion, Unemployment, Communal Violence, Violence Against Women,
Child Abuse and Child Labour, and Urbanization. Social Problems In India also
covers Crime and Criminals, Caste System, Youth Unrest, Juvenile Delinquency,
Drug Abuse, Alcoholism, Black Money, and Terrorism. Each issue and related
problems are discussed in detail, the causes and effects thoroughly analyzed.
The author discusses the problem, the underlying reasons, the scope of each
issue and the possible ways to counter it. He believes that a fresh approach is
needed for the current times. This edition of Social Problems In India has been
revised to include more material on topics like terrorism, crime against women,
child abuse and communal violence. It also contains new sections on AIDS,
Corruption and Bonded Labour.
Providing critical analysis of problems with a sociological perspective, and
theoretical explanations for academic study, this book is useful not just for
students, but also for planners and policy makers.
