Thomas and his legacy for our times, and published with the support of the Council for World Mission to coincide with the centenary of Thomas' birth, this collection brings together an international panel of distinguished scholars, theologians and church leaders.

It gives the history of Rural Development in India and with the help of action situations discusses the value of social work intervention in organizing rural poor. An analysis of five Panchayat elections in three villages of Delhi, graphically describes intense struggle for power at the grassroot level. The book makes some practical suggestions to improve the effectiveness of Panchayat in village development work. The main thrust of the book has been on involvement and peoples participation in their own development rather than merely accomplishment of projects or programmes. Review Professor K.D. Gangrade’s book describes the process of decision-making and the tussles that take place in electing panchayat members. Meher C.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: In recent years the harijan problem has become very acute in india's social and political life. The problem of caste and untouchability has been discussed from various viewpoints, not always with due impartiality and a thorough knowledge of the facts. It gives a new explanation for the origin of caste and untouchability, dating it back to the pre-indian past of the aryans and dravidians. It contributes greatly to a better knowledge of the harijans by a short description and characterisation of all the individual harijan castes throughout india. Such a study had never been undertaken before. This study of the harijans has enabled the author to arrive at new conclusion hitherto rarely mentioned in the literature on caste and untouchability: 1. The problem of untouchability originated among the high castes. Therefore, for the abolition of untouchability, the high-castes must be tackled first. They must be convinced that untouchability is to their own economic and social disadvantage. So far reformers have attacked the problem at the wrong end: by trying to uplift the harijans. No wonder they failed. 2. The indian high-castes are not consistent in linking untouchability with certain impure occupations. The stigma of untouchability is attached to certain trades in one region, while in other regions workers in the same trade are not excluded from the hindu fold. 3. Various trades, ritually pure and impure, are closely connected in indian economy. This explains why certain trades, though apparently ritually pure, yet can be carried out only by untouchables. The conclusions presented in the present book may have important practical implications for the abolition of untouchability and thus for the solution of a national problem which causes so much political unrest and untold suffering to vast masses of the indian population, at the same time blackening the fair image of the indian nation in the world.
