The Village Community and Modern Progress is a book written by Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy in 1908. The book explores the impact of modernization and progress on traditional village communities in India. Coomaraswamy argues that the introduction of modern technology and capitalist economic systems has disrupted the social and economic structures of these communities, leading to the breakdown of traditional values and social cohesion. He suggests that the preservation of the village community is essential for the preservation of traditional Indian culture and values. The book also examines the role of the British colonial government in promoting modernization and the impact of Western education on Indian society. Overall, The Village Community and Modern Progress provides a critical analysis of the impact of modernization on traditional Indian communities and offers insights into the challenges faced by societies undergoing rapid social and economic change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
