2 In an important but unreported comment before the National Seminar on Social Change at Bangalore in late 1972, M. N. Srinivas argued that the time had come for the village-level study to be de-emphasized, at least temporarily, in favour of research into wider spatial areas.

3 Professor Epstein cannot be criticized for failing to refer to Mysore by its new official name ‘Karnataka’ since that change took place after this book went to press. I have, for simplicity, used the old name in this review.
