Social Action

(A Quarterly Review of Social Trends) UGC-CARE approved Social Science Journal

Social Action has been published continuously since 1951 by the Indian Social Institute. This Journal has been capturing the social dimension of independent India. It is now published by the Social Action Trust. The Journal attempts to reach activists in the field with committed intellectual and theoretical concerns, as well as intellectuals and academics seriously committed to action in the field. This is a delicate balance to maintain and the editorial team strives to keep the Journal relevant and informative to both sets of readers.
A must for researchers and to all serious citizens who have a social concern; Meaningful and thought-provoking BOOK REVIEWS provide you with an insight into the treasures the books hold within. Articles are well researched. A boon indeed for your questioning mind. It definitely will keep you one step ahead of the topsy-turvy social trends in our country.
