Gandhi believed that villages were the key to happiness and prosperity, and pleaded for the decentralisation of economic and political power through the organisation of vil\u00adlage <em>panchayats<\/em>. The <em>panchayat <\/em>is a committee of five elders who govern local life. The village was therefore the primary unit of social organisation.<\/p>\n<p>Today, despite continuing urbanisation, many Indians still live in villages. Though modern technology is apparent everywhere, it appears incongruous, and life largely depends on the land as it has for thousands of years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\"
