Man and his Habitation

Abstract

THE relations of man and society are a prominent subject of contemporary discussion. Traditional links everywhere are weakening and new experiments are to the fore. In many books we read discussions that, often unconsciously, presuppose a European or North American background ; but, in this case, the background is Indian and the differences in facts adduced as well as in lines of argument make a reader wonder whether there isreally such a subject as social science or whether there are not rather numerous 'social geographies' to be studied.
