Examining agrarian societies in colonial India, the papers in this
collection include analyses of late 18th-century records on South
India and North Bengal, and a look at the late colonial period.
Statistical examinations provide a basis for a revised
understanding of social mobility and land transfer, while a study
of technology and labour absorption, a demographic approach to
famines and epidemics, and a socio-political perspective of tenancy
acts blend history and social science. Four chapters compare the
Indian experience with those of Japan and other Asian countries,
which the editors use to argue for the historical presence of
internal forces of change in Indian agriculture, which has not been
fully recognized in either Western or nationalist historiography.
They suggest the fundamental importance of an Asian comparative
perspective for the understanding of Indian history.
