Answers
Answer:
Some of the important Characteristics features of Village Community in India are as follows:
1. Bases of social organization:
In India there are more than half a million villages. Eighty per cent of the Indian population lives in these villages. Hence, in every respect the future of India is very much linked with the development of villages
2. Group of people:
Village community signifies a group of people in which the people do not take part in a particular interest. On the other hand, they share the basic conditions of a common life.
3. Definite locality:
Locality is the physical basis of village community. A group of people forms village community only when it begins to reside in a definite locality.
4. Small size:
Village communities are small in size. The census in India designates a place with 5000 inhabitants as a village community. 80% of the Indian villages have less than 1000 population each.
5. Importance of neighborhood:
Neighbourhood relationship is another important feature of village life. Two factors namely living in small proximity on the part of the ruralites and an atmosphere of fellow-feeling, friendship, sympathy and love available in the rural setting, promote neighbourhood relationship in the village.
