In the study of the indigenous movements, we will discover that India has been radically affected. But the change has not been disruptive and discontinuous. We can understand this kind of change as aprocess guided and controlled by ‘selective affinity’ to use a helpful category. The movements of the Indian Renaissance, Brahmo Samaj, Ramakrishna Movement, Servants of India Society, Non-Brahmin Movement, The Dalit Movement, and Peasants’ Movement in which certain features of ideational, historical, material, social and personal factors mutually enforce the features that have the greatest desire to unite and thereby bring them into prominence. They lead to a reduction of difference between religions. This analysis could be made of the movements for social change in India. We will look at the movements in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries very briefly and thereby illusions the kind of social change which is going on in India.
