人类学家目前对印度农村生活的科学研究感兴趣，从一开始就面临着在印度社会和文化的宇宙背景下理解离散的村庄研究的意义的问题。人们对印度村庄的社会结构和组织模式进行了各种尝试。许多学者注意到村内派系斗争、种姓斗争和村落社区的其他几个明显瓦解的特征的存在。人们还注意到，这些村庄与外界有着广泛的社会和宗教联系，并在经济和政治上依赖于不植根于社区的组织。面对这样的证据，人们开始怀疑，一个印度村庄是否可以被描述为一个有别于其他村庄的正常运作的社会单位，以及对个别村庄的研究是否可以帮助我们了解印度。
The current interest of anthropologists in the scientific study of the rural life of India has been faced from the very beginning with the question of comprehending the meaning of discrete village studies in the context of the universe of Indian society and culture. Various attempts have been made to analyze the social structures and patterns of organization in Indian villages. Many scholars have noted the existence of intra-village factionalism, inter-caste struggles and several other apparently disintegrating features of the village community. Extensive social and religious ties of the villages with the outside and their economic and political dependence on organizations which do not have their roots in the community have also been noted. In the face of such evidence one begins to wonder whether an Indian village can be characterized at all as a functioning social unit distinguishable from others and whether studies of individual villages can help us in understanding India.
