This book analyses the character of British rule in
nineteenth-century India, by focusing on the underlying ideas and
the practical repercussions of agrarian policy. It argues that the
great rent law debate and the Bengal Tenancy Act of 1885 helped
constitute a revolution in the effective aims of government and in
the colonial ability to interfere in India, but that they did so
alongside a continuing weakness of understanding and in effective
local control. In particular, the book considers the importance of
notions of historical rights and economic progress to the false
categorisations made of agrarian structure. It shows that the
Tenancy Act helped to widen social disparities in rural Bihar, and
to create political interests on the land.
