	Social Formations Of Early South India by Rajan Gurukkal
	Price : Rs 795.00
	Your Price : Rs 715.50

Spanning three decades of meticulous research by Rajan Gurukkal, this collection presents an incisive analysis of social formations in modern linguistic states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala from pre-historic times to early medieval period.

The author closely examines the transformation from agro-pastoral to agrarian social formation by exploring areas like economy, technology, historical processes of state formation. Special emphasis is laid on the transition from clan and lineage to hereditary occupations and caste, and the social implications of the spread of writing. He also discusses the structural and institutional features of the new social formation.

What sets this volume apart is the author’s consistent theoretical position and methodological approach. It also showcases his exceptional familiarity with the sources— archaeological, epigraphical, and literary. The introduction provides a conceptual backdrop to the use of the term ‘social formation’ and also reviews some debates surrounding social change in south India.
