Peasants and Imperial Rule

A regional study of the impact of British rule on the Indian peasantry.

Zusammenfassung
This book examines the impact of British rule on the Indian peasantry, and the changes it brought. It finds that significant long-term economic and social change did occur but that the highly 'differential' pattern to commercialisation prevented any structural transformation in the peasant economy and society.
