TRANSFORMATION IN RURAL SOCIETY AFTER INDEPENDENCE
➢ The change in the nature of the relationship
between landlords(dominant caste) and agricultural
workers(low caste) was described by the sociologist
Jan Breman(1974) as a shift from ‘patronage to
exploitation’.
➢ In many areas where agriculture was becoming
more commercialised.
➢ The transformation in labour relations is regarded
by some scholars as indicative of a transition to
capitalist agriculture.
➢ The capitalist mode of production is based on
separation of the workers from their land and the
use of free wage labour.
