This theoretical paper focuses on socio-structural changes in a rural
community of the province of Punjab, Pakistan. Specifically, changes in the social
structure of rural community of the Punjab and factors associated with such
changes over a period of fifty decades are examined retrospectively. A village
named Mohla is situated in Central Punjab, Pakistani. It was extensively studied

comprehensive probability sample survey was conducted to assess the changes in
the social structure along with relevant reasons. Changes in various social
institutions are discussed in the light of various social structural perspectives
which include functionalism, modernization and globalization. Local structural
context is also looked into to develop a comprehensive analysis of the changes that
have taken place in the community over the study period. It comprises of factors
such as political, religious and regional aspects associated with the variables under
study. A thorough critique on the aforementioned perspectives is also developed
