The interwar years witnessed great changes in the political life of
India, with the establishment of new governmental institutions, the
emergence of political movements based on class, caste and
ideology, and the rapid expansion of the nationalist campaign. This
book looks at the complex of political changes during this crucial
and formative period in the Madras Presidency, the largest but
often the most neglected province of British India. Among the many
strands of political life and behaviour which Dr Baker studies are
the non-Brahman movement, peasant agitations, caste movements and
the rise of the Indian National Congress to a position of
undisputed primacy in the region. Making use of hitherto
unresearched materials Dr Baker attempts the first overall study of
the political process and the dynamics of political change in the
province. The book may also be seen as a case-study of political
change in a late-colonial society.
