✓

Answer

It is important to distinguish between social change in general and social movements.
  • Social change is continuous and ongoing.
  • The broad historical processes of social change are the sum total of countless individual and collective actions gathered across time and space.
  • Social movements are directed towards some specific goals.
  • It involves long and continuous social effort and action by people.
  • We can view sanskritisation and westernization as social change and the 19th century social reformers' efforts to change society as social movements.

The harsh working conditions suffered by labourers in Aghanbigha were an outcome of the combined effect of the economic power of the maliks as a class and their overwhelming power as members of a dominant caste. A significant aspect of the social power of the maliks was their ability to secure the intervention of various arms of the state to advance their interests. Thus, political factors decissively contributed to widening the gulf between the dominant class and the underclass.
