Keywords:
Editors DeSouza (Director, Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla), Kumar (research fellow, Indian Institute of Advance Study, Shimla) and Shastri (political science, U. of California at Berkeley, U. of Central Oklahoma) have collected data from 5000 interviews with Indian youths to record their perceptions on modernity, development, globalization, social networks, unemployment, leisure and their hopes for the future. Written for professionals in advertising, market research and political sociology, this volume explores the ways in which diversity and change defines this current and somewhat misunderstood generation, and how the youth of India are very distinct from their counterparts in the rest of the world. Appendices include sampling methods for the survey, the questionnaire and individual case studies from the KAS-CSDS Youth Study. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This book comprises the first nationwide study based on face-to-face interviews with 5000 youth to capture the popular mood of this important demographic segment of contemporary India. It records their perceptions of various issues, ranging from modernity, development, globalization and unemployment, to leisure and lifestyle, social networks and family, and their hopes and aspirations for the future. While it breaks some myths about them, on one hand, it helps strengthen some commonly shared perceptions about them, on the other.

Recenzijas

"Based on face-to-face interviews with 5,000 Indian youths about their views on various aspects of their lives, country, problems, aspirations, and many other topics, this fascinating book offers seven well-written chapters including Family and Social Networks, Leisure and Life Style, Politics and Democracy, and Nation and the World." -- R. N. Sharma A big thank you to the editors and pub­lishers of the volume for putting this im­portant study the public domain, and lets make a new year wish that we will have internally-generated funding to do more of this kind of work that will help us both in business strategy and in public policy, to understand ourselves better, and shape the future better. -- The Economic Times A riveting read for anyone attempting to understand Young India, the volume pans across the country to present an interesting picture of the beliefs and activities of the youthThis is one of those books youll underline heavily. It will stay relevant till something better comes about. -- Mail Today This book steps into the breach by providing excellent data collected  by the Centre for developing Societies in 2007 on the opinions of young people aged 14 to 34 from different parts of India. The analysis and book as a whole is remarkably readable and easy to use, with a thumbnail sketch of interesting overall findings near the beginning and also a more formal executive summary. Raw data are helpfully set out in voluminous appendices. -- Pacific Affairs The book is an easy read, not least because of the useful deployment of many pie-charts and graphs in every page. Sage has brought to the study excellent packaging, with glossy covers and high paper and print quality. It is the first nationwide study to systematically interview large numbers of young people. It provides interesting snapshot information on how the modernity-tradition interface pans out in youth attitudes and perceptions. The book would probably most benefit advertising professionals or market researchers. -- Sociological Bulletin
