Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Imperial Gazetteer, Vol. 1: A General of Geography, Physical, Political, Statistical, and Descriptive Next to a good Dictionary, the most generally useful book is a good gazetteer. At no time, probably, was such a work more urgently wanted than now, when the relations of this country with foreign parts have been so greatly extended, when the progress of British power and enter prise lias opened up so many new fields for scientific inquiry and commercial speculation, and when so many large and interesting additions have been made to our geographical knowledge but which, being mostly confined to special, and often expensive works, and to the transactions of learned societies, have not hitherto been accessible to the public generally. Such were some of the reasons adduced in the Prospectus for commencing to publish the imperial gazetteer, the first part of which was issued in July, 1850. Whatever value these reasons may have possessed at that period, it has gone on increasing at a rapid ratio, until now, at the close of the Work, the hostilities in which we are engaged with one of the mightiest empires of the earth, impart an additional and intense stimulus to the acquirement of geographical knowledge. In concluding this undertaking, which has occupied the Editor' S attention, more or less closely, for the last eight years, little more remains than to indicate the plan upon which the gazetteer has been written, and to note some particulars respecting its production. A leading aim throughout has been to maintain a proper medium between those works which give lengthy and elaborate articles, and consequently treat of a comparatively small number of places, and those which, by giving very short meagre articles, Often little better than registers of positions, are enabled to include an immense number of places. While in the number of articles the imperial gazetteer greatly exceeds works of the former, it does not fall much short of works of the latter class; for, by a rigid exclusion of irrelevant matter, by carefully avoiding the repetition of information in articles relating to the same subject-s, though necessarily arranged under different heads, and by adopting a concise style of writing, space has been found, generally speaking, to notice all known towns, having not less than 1000 inhabitants, and many even of a smaller popu lation, besides including the needful articles on countries, seas, lakes, rivers, mountain-ranges, &c.

This book was released on 2001-02-22 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenon of caste has probably aroused more controversy than any other aspect of Indian life and thought. Susan Bayly's cogent and sophisticated analysis explores the emergence of the ideas, experiences and practices which gave rise to the so-called 'caste society' from the pre-colonial period to the end of the twentieth century. Using an historical and anthropological approach, she frames her analysis within the context of India's dynamic economic and social order, interpreting caste not as an essence of Indian culture and civilization, but rather as a contingent and variable response to the changes that occurred in the subcontinent's political landscape through the colonial conquest. The idea of caste in relation to Western and Indian 'orientalist' thought is also explored.

Download or read book The Imperial Gazetteer of India Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Indian Empire and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Imperial Gazetteer of India, Vol. 1 The first edition of The Imperial Gazetteer of India was published in nine volumes in 1881. A second edition, augmented to fourteen volumes, was issued in the years 1885-7. A revised form of the article on India, greatly enlarged and with statistics brought up to date, appeared as an independent volume in 1893, under the title of The Indian Empire: Its Peoples, History, and Products. All of these were edited by the late Sir William Wilson Hunter, K. C. S. I., who formed the original plan of the work as far back as 1869, when he was first entrusted with the duty of organizing a statistical survey of the country, and who wrote most of The Indian Empire in its final form with his own hand. His untimely death in 1900 has deprived the present edition of the advantages of his ripe experience and literary skill. The second edition having for some time passed out of print, it was resolved by the Government of India that a new edition should be prepared in connexion with the Census of 1901. The changes, however, that have been introduced, both in the general scheme and in the methods of compilation, may justify its being considered as a new work rather than a new edition. The bulk will be raised from fourteen to twenty-six volumes, including a companion Atlas; and the single volume of 'The Indian Empire' has been expanded into four volumes, entitled respectively 'Descriptive, ' 'Historical, ' 'Economic, ' and 'Administrative.'
