Answer 2

Answer:

Most of the issues and concerns of

sociology also date back to a time when

European society was undergoing

tumultuous changes in the 18th and

19th centuries with the advent of

capitalism and industrialisation. Many

of the issues that were raised then, for

example, urbanisation or factory

production, are pertinent to all modern

societies, even though their specific

features may vary. Indeed, Indian

society with its colonial past and

incredible diversity is distinct. The

sociology of India reflects this.

If this is so, why focus on Europe of

that time? Why is it relevant to start

there? The answer is relatively simple.

For our past, as Indians are closely

linked to the history of British

capitalism and colonialism. Capitalism

in the west entailed a world-wide

expansion. The passages in the box on

next page represent but two strands in

the manner that western capitalism

impacted the world.
