This book is a critical work of synthesis and interpretation on one
of the central themes in modern Indian history - agrarian change
under British colonial rule. Sugata Bose analyses the relationships
between demography, commercialization, class structure and peasant
resistance unfolding over the long term between 1770 and more
recent times. By integrating the histories of land and capital, he
examines the relationship between capitalist 'development' of the
wider economy under colonial rule and agrarian continuity and
change. Drawing most of his empirical evidence from rural Bengal,
the author makes comparisons with regional agrarian histories of
other parts of South Asia. Thus, this study stands on its own in
the field of modern Indian social and economic history in its
chronological sweep and comparative context and makes the complex
subject of India's peasantry accessible to students and the
interested non-specialist.
