Model answer Earliest views on family viewed it as a result of an evolutionary process. Classical definition defines family as a group based on marriage, emotional bonds, common residence. Today, in developed societies, family is replaced by alternative institutions like schools, old age homes, hospitals, play school etc for the traditional functions. •With rise of modern welfare states, social control lies in hands of law and order institutions replacing family's role.  •Family, no longer performs the production function and it no longer plays the role of economic placement of an individual in society. •Concept of old age home, is also leading to the transfer of old age care function to formal institutions. Thus, almost all sociologists agree that family have changes, but all may not agree that they have decreased.

Model answer Caste and tribes are two important ingredients of the Indian social setup, but the inter relationship between them has been viewed from different angles. - According to one perspective, caste and tribes are seen along a continuum. Srinivas 's Sanskritisation model also illustrates how tribal groups enter into caste systems. - Ghurye, called tribals as backward Hindus and presented a framework for classification of tribes from the Hindu perspective. - Over the years, as tribal groups came in close contact with the larger Hindu society, they also acquired some of the traits of the Hindus society. A study by Mandelbaum In the hills of Nilgiris, in 1930s , showed that Todas had, even at that time, acquired many caste like attributes. Many of them practiced endogamy.
