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 Empire and Imperial Ambition by : Mira Matikkala
Download or read book Empire and Imperial Ambition written by Mira Matikkala and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late nineteenth century is generally thought of as a period of imperial enthusiasm and fervour, however, beneath the surface there were currents of disquiet and discontent. In this book Mira Matikkala examines the modes of thought that were described as anti-imperialist in the period 1878-1901. She argues that the common ground between the various critics of imperialism was that they all declared to represent 'true Englishness' in contrast to what they regarded as a 'distorted' imperial identity. Previous research has largely embraced the imperialist conception and definition of British imperialism as 'empire patriotism' and general 'empire pride'. This has led to a failure to understand the fact that late-Victorian anti-imperialists comprehended imperialism differently. They drew a clear distinction between the empire and imperialism, the empire signifying mainly emigration, colonisation, and the spontaneous spread of English liberal values in the form of the settler empire; whereas imperialism, as British authoritarian rule in the dependencies, was regarded as the negation of the same liberal spirit which the colonies propounded. Unlike colonisation, imperialism was seen as a new departure in British politics, representing anti-constitutionalism, 'distorted' imperial patriotism, militarism, aggression, and irrational jingoism. In contrast to these imperialist manifestations the anti-imperialists emphasised 'the long line from 1688': liberty and constitutional rights in the form of 'industry and freedom at home, and peace, fair dealing, and moderation abroad'. In their view these 'traditional English values' constituted 'true' Englishness and any 'true' patriotism would be founded on them. The late-Victorian debate on imperialism can be loosely grouped into three main categories, discussed in the three main parts of the book: economy and imperial expansion; ethics and the nature of progress; and practical politics. 'Empire and the Imperial Ambition' will be a significant contribution to the fields of British intellectual history and political thought.

Download or read book Producing India written by Manu Goswami and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-01-26 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When did categories such as a national space and economy acquire self-evident meaning and a global reach? Why do nationalist movements demand a territorial fix between a particular space, economy, culture, and people? Producing India mounts a formidable challenge to the entrenched practice of methodological nationalism that has accorded an exaggerated privilege to the nation-state as a dominant unit of historical and political analysis. Manu Goswami locates the origins and contradictions of Indian nationalism in the convergence of the lived experience of colonial space, the expansive logic of capital, and interstate dynamics. Building on and critically extending subaltern and postcolonial perspectives, her study shows how nineteenth-century conceptions of India as a bounded national space and economy bequeathed an enduring tension between a universalistic political economy of nationhood and a nativist project that continues to haunt the present moment. Elegantly conceived and judiciously argued, Producing India will be invaluable to students of history, political economy, geography, and Asian studies.
