This book aims to sketch the diversities of South Asian social
History, focusing on Orissa. It highlights the problems of
colonialism and its impact upon the lives of the colonised, even as
it details the manner in which the internal order of exploitation
worked. Based on archival and rare, hitherto untapped sources,
including oral evidence, it brings to life diverse aspects of
Orissa's social history, including the environment; health and
medicine; conversion (in Hinduism); popular movements; social
history of some princely states; and the intricate connections
between the marginal social groups and Indian nationalism. It also
focuses on decolonisation, and explores the face of patriarchy and
gender-related violence in post-colonial Orissa. This volume will
be of interest to students of history, social anthropology,
political sociology and cultural studies, as well as those
associated with non-governmental organisations and planners of
public policy. -- .
