The Development Ushers In Series Of Changes In The Social System. The Changes Are Both Radical And Long Lasting. However, It Remains An Issue Before Any Intellectual Discourse Whether Everything Undergoes Change Or We Are Just Fond Of Using The Expression ?Radical Change?. In The Backdrop Of This Intellectual Curiosity, The Present Work Tries To Examine The Degree Of Change Occurred As A Result Of The Development In A Micro-Cosm Of The Punjab Society, I.E., The Occupation Of Smithy.

Farmer Or Peasant And The Smith Like The Warrior And The Sword (Smith) Were Almost Coterminus. In Such An Environment Of Agricultural Development Along With Its Concomitant Changes It Becomes; Important To See What Has Happened To The Smith. The Author Has Tried To Find The Answer With The Help Of The Empirical Data. It Has Necessarily Transform Everything. Acknowledging That Many Things May Left For Future Investigation, This Work Authoritatively Establishing And Puts Forward That The Impact Of Development Is Janus-Headed, I.E., Both Change And Continuity Characterise A Developing Society. The Work Opens New Areas Of Investigation Through The Examination Of One Traditional Occupation Which Should Have Undergone Radical Change By Questioning That The Very Issue Of The Direction Of Change.

"The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
"The researcher as research instrument is a major feature of socio-anthropological fieldwork. The gathering of data, their analysis, and evaluation are highly sensitive to the personality, perception and theories of the fieldworker. It causes divergent representations and valuations of the same processes and phenomena by different researchers, or different interpretations of the same subject by the same fieldworker over the years." "After a brief review of the debates on the meaning, use, and origin of anthropological knowledge, Hein Streefkerk discusses this theme by focussing on his fieldwork among industrial entrepreneurs in south Gujarat, India, between 1971 and 1991. The topics are the manipulation of informants and the improvised nature of conducting fieldwork. The essay is concluded by a detailed account of the reasons why he had to change in 1991 his earlier opinion on industrial entrepreneurship in Bulsar."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
