"Behind Mud Walls is an excellent introduction to the changes that have taken place in India from the mid-1920s to today, seen from the village level. It is an engaging read, filled with first hand observations of great clarity and explanatory power. It introduces the changing world of the village, where still 50 percent of the world's population, and 75 percent of India's population, live."—Howard Spadek, author of The World's History
