The Indian village council, or panchayat, has long held an iconic
place in India. Ironies of Colonial Governance traces the history
of that ideal and the attempts to adapt it to colonial governance.
Beginning with an in-depth analysis of British attempts to
introduce a system of panchayat governance during the early
nineteenth century, it analyses the legacies of these actions
within the structures of later colonial administrations as well as
the early nationalist movement. Particular attention is paid to the
ways in which the ideologies of panchayat governance evolved during
this period and to the transnational exchange and circulation of
panchayat ideologies.
