Abstract:

Modernization as a term in sociology is used to devote complex process of social change from traditional way of living & thinking. Modernization is historically inescapable & even irretrievable process of social change which has been in very wide sense, going on ever since man came out of his ice age and discovered the fire. However in narrow and specific sense the term connotes the changes that have occurred and are occurring now in the various societies of the world since the advent of European renaissance and the age of reason with the emphasis on rationality & scientific thinking. This marked a definite break with the fresh rendering of social, political structure, economic system and the whole attitude of man to human relationship society & the universe.
