THE IMPACT OF MODERNISATION PROCESS ON BHOVI COMMUNITY

Dr. Kirthi F. Chapparamani

Abstract :

Modernization: Modernization refers to a set of social changes that have taken place in societies throughout the world in the past three centuries. It encompasses all the changes that societies and individuals experience as a result of industrialization, urbanization and development of nation–states. These changes include a shift from simple techniques toward the application of scientific knowledge, an evolution from subsistence farming towards the commercial production of agricultural goods, a transition from the use of power–driven machines and a movement from the farm and village towards urban concentration. This process may or may not take place simultaneously (Kornblum: 1988:583). Modernization has affected the traditional occupations of Bhovis. Due to modernization, more people are attracted towards the materialistic things which are manufactured, so the bhovis making stone grinders and other utensils are losing their value in market. Hence the Bhovis are changing their traditional occupation to agricultural and other occupations. Because of modernization process, some Bhovis are moving from rural to urban areas. The scheduled castes are changing through the process of change in complex, multi–layered and multi–dimensional creating new status distinctions
