| Research Abstract |
The researches were conducted by Japanese scholars and their Indian and Bangladeshi counterparts. After two years field works, we held an international workshop in 1992. Part of the papers read on that occasion has already been printed under the title of Economic Change and Social Transformation in Modern and Contemporary South Asia (Part I), and the rest will follow very soon.
The Project was divided into 2 parts. Part one mainly dealt with historical aspects of the problem and we have 4 articles. All these articles found that there were great social changes among the lower classes in the plains and also among the tribal people in the frontiers during the British colonial rule. Second part of the research (in total 8 articles) concerned with the contemporary problems of lower classes both in rural and urban areas. Some of the important findings of this part of out project may now be summarized. In the rural areas old framework of labor division still more or less continues, but in urban and semi-urban areas wave of changes among the lower classes have gone fairly a long way. However, this does not mean that all the sections of the lower classes changed equally. While some of them have been very active in obtaining higher education and more professional kinds of jobs with higher social esteem and higher income, many others have been rather backward in these respects and still remains at the bottom of the society. Change agents identified by our researches are education, employment in the municipalities (reserved employment) and activities of certain social organizations meant for uplift of the lower classes of people. Further researches are urgently called for in order to find out the particular factors which contributed to the different reactions to the changing econo-socio-politico conditions surrounding there people.
