When Fr. James Mariakumar began his preaching mission, he realised that one of the main problem of families is the ignorance about the truth related to Marriage & Family. This led him to study what God says in the Bible about His Plan for individuals, sanctity of sexuality, Marriage & Family, the role of and responsibility of husband and wife, father mother and children, eventually leading to this book, ‘Marriage & Family”.

This is a sociological interpretation of modern Indian history. It is also a hard-hitting critique of nationalist historiography as well as the Indian national movement. Aloysius evaluates anti – caste, non Brahmin and other socio – religious movements in a new light and seeks to place them within mainstream history. He sees the national movement in the context of a multiplicity of political of political awakenings which took place during the colonial period. His conclusion is that internal cleavages within Indian society, rather than the obvious external contradiction between Indians and the British, were responsible for the outcome of the nationalist movement and the failure of the nation to emerge. This book would thus interest all sociologists, historians and political scientists.

Hence, life, which since time immemorial has been perceived as precious, becomes worthless and redundant. It needs to be commended that Jose Vallanattu has rightly realized the danger of globalization and has succeeded in pointing out its vicious circle.
