520			_a"In the years of 1958 and 1959, Shanti Nagar was a traditional Indian village in the beginning stages of change twoards modernization, primarily from influences emanating from Delhi. This study provides a descriptive ethnography of the rites of passage of birth, marriage, and death as they were at that time celebrated; it indicates what changes had been and were occurring and attempts to predict some that may occur in the future. In addition, the monograph provides a symbolic analysis of some of the ceremonies, rituals, stories, and songs based on the village beliefs regarding them, particularly in the context of Hinduism."
