Peasants and Imperial Rule: Agriculture and Agrarian Society in the Bombay Presidency 1850-1935 (Cambridge South Asian Studies)

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.Neil Charlesworth is the author of 'Peasants and Imperial Rule: Agriculture and Agrarian Society in the Bombay Presidency 1850-1935 (Cambridge South Asian Studies)', published 1985 under ISBN 9780521232067 and ISBN 0521232066.
