Viewed from a distance, an Indian village may appear deceptively simple.
A cluster of mud-plastered walls shaded by a few trees, set among a
stretch of green or dun-colored fields, with a few people slowly coming
or going, oxcarts creaking, cattle lowing, and birds singing--all
present an image of harmonious simplicity.

Indian city dwellers often refer nostalgically to "simple village life."
City artists portray colorfully garbed village women gracefully carrying
water pots on their heads, and writers describe isolated rural
settlements unsullied by the complexities of modern urban civilization.
Social scientists of the past wrote of Indian villages as virtually
self-sufficient communities with few ties to the outside world.
