Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most durable figures in modern history, the peasant has long been a site of intense intellectual and political debate. Yet underlying much of this literature is the assumption that peasants simply existed everywhere, a general if not generic group, traced backward from modernity to antiquity. Focused on the transformation of Panjab during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this book accounts for the colonial origins of global capitalism through a radical history of the concept of "the peasant," demonstrating how seemingly fixed hierarchies were in fact produced, legitimized, and challenged within the preeminent agricultural region of South Asia. Navyug Gill uncovers how and why British officials and ascendant Panjabis disrupted existing forms of identity and occupation to generate a new agrarian order in the countryside. The notion of the hereditary caste peasant engaged in timeless cultivation thus emerged, paradoxically, as a result of a dramatic series of conceptual, juridical, and monetary divisions. Far from archaic relics, this book ultimately reveals both the landowning peasant and landless laborer to be novel political subjects forged through the encounter between colonialism and struggles over culture and capital within Panjabi society. Questions of progress, exploitation and knowledge come to animate the vernacular operations of power. With this history, Gill brings difference and contingency to understandings of the global past in order to re-think the itinerary of comparative political economy as well as alternative possibilities for emancipatory futures.

Download or read book Language Policy and Language Conflict in Afghanistan and Its Neighbors written by Harold Schiffman and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-12-09 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book was co-edited by Brian Spooner, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania. Language policy in Central Asia, Afghanistan and the immediately surrounding neighboring countries has a long and varied history. The Iranian revolution of 1978, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan since 2001 have left the area in a state of flux. This volume gives a better picture about what is official and explicit, what is not official but implicit or general practice, and what the likely future developments might be. It is very clear that multilingualism, whether it involves Persian, Russian or English in addition to other languages, not only has long been a part of the scene, but will probably continue to be so.
Download or read book The Materiality of the Past written by Anne Murphy and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2012-11-29 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne Murphy offers a groundbreaking exploration of material representations of the Sikh past, showing how objects, as well as historical sites, and texts, have played a vital role in the production of the Sikh community as an evolving historical and social formation from the eighteenth century to the present. Drawing together work in religious studies, postcolonial studies, and history, Murphy explores how 'relic' objects such as garments and weaponry have, like sites, played dramatically different roles across political and social contexts-signifiers of authority and even sovereignty in one; collected, revered, and displayed with religious significance in another-and are connected to a broader engagement with the representation of the past that is central to the formation of the Sikh community. By highlighting the connections between relic objects and historical sites, and how the status of sites changed in the colonial period, she also provides crucial insight into the circumstances that brought about the birth of a new territorial imagination of the Sikh past in the early twentieth century, rooted in existing precolonial historical imaginaries centered in place and object. The life of the object today and in the past, she suggests, provides unique insight into the formation of the Sikh community and the crucial role representations play in it.

Download or read book The Army in India and the Development of Frontier Warfare 1849 1947 written by T. Moreman and published by Springer. This book was released on 1998-08-10 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive study is the first scholarly account explaining how the British and Indian armies adapted to the peculiar demands of fighting an irregular tribal opponent in the mountainous no-man's-land between India and Afghanistan. It does so by discussing how a tactical doctrine of frontier fighting was developed and 'passed on' to succeeding generations of soldiers. As this book conclusively demonstrates this form of colonial warfare always exerted a powerful influence on the organisation, equipment, training and ethos of the Army in India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research monograph seeks to make a comprehesive and in depth study of all important aspects of the administration of Punjab covering the period from 1897 to 1919. This period is highly significant in the administrative history of the province. In 1897 Legislative Council was estalished in Punjab followed by changes and reforms of great consequence in the general structure of administration of justice, police and jails, agrarian system, public work and eduction. What is equally important is that people's response to and reaction against the various administrative measures taken by the British authorities was strongly expressed through press and platform and this gave a stimulus to the growth of militant nationalism against the colonial rule in the province. This study makes a comprehensive and critical analysis of all these development . No effort has been spared to present ths subject matter in as objective and dispassionate manner as possible. Based largely on the primary sources availble in the National Archives of India, and the Punjab State Archives this book is likely to prove immensely beneficial to the students and scholars who are interested in the study of colonial administration of the Punjab.
