Q. 8. Define social movement and describe at least one old social movement and one new social movement in India.

Ans. Social movement involves collective action. However, it takes the form of a movement only when it is sustained for a long time. This collective action need not be formally organized. But it should be able to create an interest and awakening in relatively large number of people. The term “social movement” is being used to denote a wide variety of collective attempts to bring about a change in certain social institutions or to create an entirely new order. Sometimes the term is used in distinction from religious or political movements and from movements among particular groups, e.g., the women movement or youth’s movement. As all of this movement occur in society and tend to affect the social order it would be permissible to apply the term social movement to all of them. According to Blumer social movements is collective enterprise to establish a new social order of life.

Q. 7. Describe the relationship between tribes and castes in India with suitable examples.

Ans. There are more than 400 groups in Indian society which are officially designated as scheduled tribes. These groups have all been undergoing changes. These changes have been observed and described by a variety of persons for nearly 100 years, but their consequences and implications have been seriously misconstrued. The conventional wisdom among anthropologists has been that when a tribe undergoes change through a loss of isolation and through close integration with the wider society, sooner or later, and with unfailing regularity, it becomes a caste. While this may have been true to a greater or lesser extent till the forties, the argument is no longer valid. Yet anthropologists have gone on making such a generalisation and despite in adequacy of data, concept and argument to support it.

Q. 5. Who are the working class? Discuss the major characteristics of working classes in the organized sector in India.

Ans. “Working class” is a confusing concept. It’s not just that the term is hard to define. It also carries different, even contrasting connotations. Sometimes it’s merely descriptive. “Working class” refers to hard-working, bluecollar and low-wage workers without college education who struggle to get by economically. But “working class” can also bring to mind lazy, unproductive failures who are going nowhere, or relics of earlier era of industrialization. Working class is a term used in academic sociology and in ordinary conversation to describe those employed in lower tier jobs, as measured by skill, education and lower incomes. Working classes are mainly found in industrialized economies and in urban areas of non-industrialized economies.
