various aspects of its rural life and, keeping pace with it, it is quite
obvious that the political situation of the country will also have
similar changes. Being constituted of mainly peasant societies,

different samaj. Before independence, except for the period of election,
national politics rarely had any major influence on the formation and
activities of the samaj. But it has been documented after
