Since the early 50s, coinciding with the setting up of the ‘national’ governments in many of the Third World countries, and perhaps consequent to it, several thousand intensive surveys have been made of single villages in those countries. This concern of academics in the ‘developing’ nations with rural realities is perhaps because of a realization on the part of the ruling sections in those countries that wide-scale economic development cannot be brought about in a situation of rural and agrarian backwardness, stagnation and underdevelopment.
