Sociology (For Law Students) -Dr.S.R. Myneni

Written specifically for the five-year integrated law course, Dr. S.R. Myneni’s Sociology (For Law Students) covers the BA-stream sociology paper with the legal connections generic sociology texts miss. It introduces the discipline’s foundations — society, community, institutions, socialisation, social stratification and mobility — the classical thinkers from Comte and Durkheim to Weber and Marx, and the Indian social structure: caste, family, marriage and kinship, religion, and the dynamics of social change.

Throughout, Myneni ties sociological concepts to their legal counterparts — social control and law, social problems and legislation — exactly the framing BA LLB examiners use. The 2026 edition aligns with current integrated-course syllabi across universities.
