Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Code of Tribal Custom in the Shahpur District of the Punjab, Vol. 15 The following Code of Tribal Custom combines the results of several separate enquiries. The village headmen and other leading men of all the most important tribes in the district were summoned together at different times between November 1893 and January 1894, the questions on tribal custom contained in the third volume of Mr. Tupper's "Panjab Customary Law" were put to them as simply as possible, and their answers were carefully recorded, with any instances given by them. The answer was in each case read out to the assembled representatives of the tribe in my presence, and admitted by them to be correct. In almost all cases it was written with his own hand by the Revenue Officer, Khan Bahadur Mian Ghulam Farid Khan, a trustworthy and experienced officer; while I took ample notes in English, which were, both then and afterwards, compared with the vernacular. The vernacular codes have been drawn up in five parts, each part representing the code of those tribes whose answers were recorded at one time. They contain numerous instances of the custom stated under all the most important answers, and should be consulted when any question regarding custom arises, being accepted as a statement of "the opinions of persons having special means of knowledge" as to the usages of the tribe. I have, in the following General Code, combined all the answers of all the tribes together, and thus compiled what may be taken as an authoritative statement, not only of the customs of the various tribes in the Shahpur district, but of the general principles underlying the customs of all the tribes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groundbreaking analysis of how colonialism created new conceptual categories and spatial forms that reshaped rural societies. This book examines how, over colonial times, the diverse practices and customs of an existing rural universe—with its many forms of livelihood—were reshaped to create a new agrarian world of settled farming. While focusing on Punjab, India, this pathbreaking analysis offers a broad argument about the workings of colonial power: the fantasy of imperialism, it says, is to make the universe afresh. Such radical change, Neeladri Bhattacharya shows, is as much conceptual as material. Agrarian colonization was a process of creating spaces that conformed to the demands of colonial rule. It entailed establishing a regime of categories—tenancies, tenures, properties, habitations—and a framework of laws that made the change possible. Agrarian colonization was in this sense a deep conquest. Colonialism, the book suggests, has the power to revisualize and reorder social relations and bonds of community. It alters the world radically, even when it seeks to preserve elements of the old. The changes it brings about are simultaneously cultural, discursive, legal, linguistic, spatial, social, and economic. Moving from intent to action, concepts to practices, legal enactments to court battles, official discourses to folklore, this book explores the conflicted and dialogic nature of a transformative process. By analyzing this great conquest, and the often silent ways in which it unfolds, the book asks every historian to rethink the practice of writing agrarian history and reflect on the larger issues of doing history. “The Great Agrarian Conquest is a subtle and substantial work of scholarship. If there is one book Indians need to read to understand how colonialism actually worked (or did not work), this is it.” — Ramachandra Guha, in The Wire, in praise of the Indian edition
