Indian Village is ""an excellent treatise. The description … frequently rises to the beautiful and is everywhere objective ... Dr. Dube has given has an excellent portrait of Shamirpet, the Telugu village located about 20 miles from Hyderabad city. Its setting, the composition of its population by caste and economic groups, the customs and rituals of the people, their family and home life, inter-group and inter-personal relations are described in detail, and the description always has a warm and human touch about it everywhere."" – From Economic and Political Weekly ""Dr. Dube describes his book as a ‘descriptive’ study and at the level of description it is unsurpassed. The moral atmosphere and facts of day-to-day life are well conveyed. It is perhaps a sign of this richness of matter that problems of theory change."" – From The Times (London)
