Book excerpt: Excerpt from Open Letters to Lord Curzon on Famines and Land Assessments in India Bengal, admitted that in the Central Provinces the assessment might have been too severe.1 In India, also, during the discussion of the annual Budget in the Viceroy's Council, all the Indian members of the Council pleaded in favour of moderate assessments, long leases, and irrigation works,2 and Lord Curzon promised to bestow his careful consideration to the subject. And during the discussion of the Provincial Budget of the north-west Provinces and Oudh, Sir Antony Macdonnell, the lieutenant-governor of those Provinces, was good enough to refer to my statements, and pointed out that in Northern India the policy of the Government during the present century has been to gradually moderate the land revenue demand.

It will, however, still remain to be determined how far any particular district is in a condition to warrant the practical application of the measure at the present time." On the 8th June 1864 the Viceroy in Council submitted, in reference to the above despatch of the Secretary of State, an account of the steps taken in furtherance of the object in view. A Minute recorded by the Viceroy himself (Sir J. Lawrence) was forwarded with this letter. The Minute ends thus: "43. Such, in general terms, is the manner in which I should wish to see the Permanent Settlement carried out in those portions of the Bengal Presidency which are not yet permanently settled, such as the NorthWest Provinces, the Punjab, Oudh, and other places; and I believe that by these means we shall best be able to apply the principles, so justly insisted on by Her Majesty's Government, to the actual circumstances and condition of this country. The 5th March 1864." On the 24th March 1865 the Secretary of State for India, Sir Charles Wood, replied to the Viceroy, and laid down the rules for the introduction of the Permanent Settlement. He divided all districts into (1) Districts in which agriculture was backward. (2) Districts in which the estates were fairly cultivated and resources fully developed. (3) Districts which contained estates fairly cultivated, and also estates with resources imperfectly developed. He decided that the Permanent Settlement should be introduced at once into the second class of districts and refused in the first class of districts. In regard to the third class of districts, he stated that Her Majesty's Government "are prepared to authorise an immediate settlement on perpetuity, after revision, for...

Excerpt: ...have from time to time suggested the true remedy. As far' 'back as 1862, Lord Canning proposed a permanent settlenient for all India;ia'nd'if Lord Canning had lived five years longer, his proposal would have been acted upon, and famines in their present intense and disastrous forms would have been unknown. 'Lord-Mayo and 'Lord Northbrook placed on record their view against' frequent and harassing surveys and settlements;-and acting on t-heir'suggest'ions, Lord Ripon finally proposed a modified form of permanent settle'inei1t1 which seemed to meet all objections and to provide' a satisfactory solution to the whole question. Lotd Ripon claimed for' the; State the right to enhance re: /enue'in'the future on' the ground of a rise in prices; but he assured the cultivators against recurring settlements and against all enhancements except on this one equitable ground, Gentlemen, this equitble solution was accepted and acted upon in Madras, and I am informed, also in Bombay; but Lord Ripon left India in December 1884, and his wise decision was vetoed by the Secretary of State for India in January 1885. And India has thus once more been plunged into another era of uncertain assessments, frequent enhancements, agricultural distress, ahd disastrous famines. We appeal, gentlemen, to the new Governor of Bombay, who comes in our midst with the best traditions of good government, to fixamoderate limit to the land-tax, which in Northern India does not exceed ten percent. of the produce. We appeal to him in this year of famine and distress to extend to us that relief which is connectled with the names of Canning and of Ripon, and to proclaim that in districts.which have been once surveyed and settled, and in which...

Book Synopsis The imperial Commonwealth by : Wm. Matthew Kennedy
Download or read book The imperial Commonwealth written by Wm. Matthew Kennedy and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the late 1800s to the early 1900s, Australian settler colonists mobilised their unique settler experiences to develop their own vision of what ‘empire’ was and could be. Reinterpreting their histories and attempting to divine their futures with a much heavier concentration on racialized visions of humanity, white Australian settlers came to believe that their whiteness as well as their Britishness qualified them for an equal voice in the running of Britain’s imperial project. Through asserting their case, many soon claimed that, as newly minted citizens of a progressive and exemplary Australian Commonwealth, white settlers such as themselves were actually better suited to the modern task of empire. Such a settler political cosmology with empire at its center ultimately led Australians to claim an empire of their own in the Pacific Islands, complete with its own, unique imperial governmentality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking view of South Asian history in the twentieth century that underlines the similarities and intertwined cultures of India and Pakistan "[A] definitive new 20th-century thematic history of the Indian subcontinent that rejects hegemonic conceptions of national 'difference.'"--Financial Times This radically original and ambitious history of the Indian subcontinent explores the region's unique twentieth-century history and foregrounds the deep connections, rather than the well-publicized fissures, between the cultures of India and Pakistan. Taking the partitions of British India rather than the two world wars as the century's inflection points, Joya Chatterji examines how issues of nationalism, internal and external migration, and technological innovation contributed to South Asia's tumultuous twentieth century. Chatterji weaves together elements of her autobiography and family history; stories of such legendary figures as Tagore, Jinnah, Gandhi, and Nehru; and, in particular, the accounts of the many who were left behind and marginalized in relentless nation-building projects. Chatterji examines the countries' mirroring patterns in state building, social and cultural life, modes of leisure, consumption, and oppression, and offers a timely course correction to our understanding of the dynamics of South Asian history. It reframes the events of the twentieth century that are continuing to play out in the present day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent literature has suggested that famines are complex, long-drawn-out and political processes, rather than sudden, natural phenomena. This book is among the first to examine such a process in detail, by studying poor peasants in Ahmednagar district, Western India, between 1870 and 1884. It does so by investigating their factors of production - land, capital and labour - as well as markets in credit and the cheap foodgrains they produced and, above all, their relationship with the colonial state.
