Book Description

Preface

This is a part of a major work that has been in the making for the past few months. The approach of the work is somewhat new Here the village has been taken as the entry point for studying India's cultural heritage. It differs from other works on village India in that it treats village as "person", as "cosmos". It is intended to serve as a practical guide for the management of development. In the process of preparing new material for determining development parameters, it is relatively independent of its predecessors. It presents conceptual and cultural contexts in which the major components of the village can be analysed without reference to development statistics. True, one cannot ignore the critical number required for studying the cultural heritage of one billion people. Happily, UNESCO has shifted its emphasis from quantitative to qualitative change. This report is more or less an outline of a possible approach and theoretical position in cultural heritage studies.
