This book is an adaptation from the field work and dissertation conducted in late 1980s in a Punjabi village in Pakistan. With special attention to the communal rites and rituals, this book studies the life and culture of the village where society has undergone a sea of change in recent years. The old culture, characterized by the distinct rules, rites, rituals, and ceremonies continues to be fading fast, being replaced by a mass culture enabled by media and other agents of change. The focus of the book is not the new culture; it is the old one that has been there for thousands of years and continues to thrive to a certain extent in many parts of Punjab. Based on one of the first scientific fieldwork-based Anthropological studies conducted in that part of Punjab, this book presents a fascinating snapshot of life and culture of a typical Pakistani Punjabi village.
