The sociological theories of Marx , Durkheim , Weber remain relevant in modern India Society to some extent.

Marx’s concept of class struggle is evident in India’s economic disparities , where the wealthy elite hold power and marginalized remain oppressed. For example – farmer’s protests against the government’s agriculture policies reflect the struggle between haves and have-nots.

Durkheim’s ideas of social solidarity is seen in India’s strong family and community bonds , which provide emotional support and a sense of belonging. However , this solidarity can also perpetuate casteism and social exclusion , as seen in the persistence of honor killings and caste-based discrimination.

Weber’s notion of bureaucracy is reflected in India’s complex and often inefficient administrative system , where red tape and corruption hinder effective governance.

While these theories were developed in a different context , they still offer valuable insights into indian societies complexities and Challenges.
