Recent Changes in the Hindu Joint Family: An Evolution towards Modernity

Author(s) Dr M Rajashekarappa
Country India
Abstract The Hindu joint family system, an age-old tradition deeply rooted in Indian culture, has undergone significant changes in recent times. This article delves into the transformations observed in the Hindu joint family structure, exploring the factors influencing these changes and their impact on family dynamics and societal norms. We examine how urbanization, globalization, economic factors, and shifting cultural attitudes have challenged the traditional joint family model, giving rise to nuclear families and altered roles within the household. The article also discusses the advantages and challenges brought about by these changes, shedding light on the potential implications for familial relationships and social cohesion.
