N2  - This book is the result of joint field research by workers from the Centre of South Asian Studies in the University of Cambridge along with South Asian colleagues from universities and research institutes in Sri Lanka and in Tamil Nadu.
The fieldwork was carried out in Tamil Nadu and in Sri Lanka in 1973-74. Preliminary results were discussed at a seminar in December 1974, and it is perhaps a reproach  to academics and to publishing that even such vitally important research should have so  long a gestation period. The papers by individual scholars are so packed with evidence  to back up their findings that, even given their chapter conclusions, the book is  difficult to outline for readers of this journal. Initially, I shall borrow from the concluding chapter on perceptions, technology and the future' by Robert Chambers and
