Description
SOCIOLOGY may be viewed as a composite social science. It not only employs modern tools and techniques of research but also draws on cognate disciplines for a comprehensive theory of human society. Apart from the description and analysis of the social phenomena in relation to time and space, it also seeks to study the dynamics of human society, the ways in which the individuals and groups interact, mobilise for collective action and attain the social goals. Further, sociology analyses the social processes such as co-operation,
conflict, adaptation and integration for a precise understanding of human behavior. Finally, it analyses the dimensions of social change, which include changes in and of society. These are the steps through which sociology seeks to build up a comprehensive view of society wherein facts, values  ideologies are analysed with the help of concepts and theories. A sociology of India has grown up in recent years. The complex social institutions and social groups of Indian society are studied in sociology both in their structural and processual aspects. The legal system in India has been associated in various ways with transition of society from tradition to modernity. It has created new codes of behavior and new institutions and new organisations to facilitate nation-building in post-Independent India. These spheres of interaction between law and society include polity, economy, administration and judiciary. This book explores these aspects in considerable detail.
