India is called as subcontinent historically, the Indian subcontinent has been likened to be a deep net into which various races and people have drifted and been caught and their diverse origin has dictated variety. Geographical conditions forced these varied people to stay together in a multiple society imposing on them what has been described by historians as "unity in diversity." Most of the societies in the region are predominantly patriarchal with women's role confined to house-hold. For the predominantly agricultural economies of India currently, rural development is the core issue of development in India. Currently, the whole world is in a flux of transformations in social structures, cultural values and behavioral patterns due to modernization process. People move around the world, migrate and return, live abroad and raise children abroad. They are bound to live together with other ethnic and cultural groups, the process of modernization has its impacts everywhere and India region is no exception.
