Book Synopsis Kingship and Political Practice in Colonial India by : Pamela G. Price
Download or read book Kingship and Political Practice in Colonial India written by Pamela G. Price and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-03-14 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a cultural history which considers the transformation of south Indian institutions under British colonial rule in the nineteenth century, Pamela Price focuses on the two former 'little kingdoms' of Ramnad and Sivagangai which came under colonial governance as revenue estates. She demonstrates how rivalries among the royal families and major zamindari temples, and the disintegration of indigenous institutions of rule, contributed to the development of nationalist ideologies and new political identities among the people of southern Tamil country. The author also shows how religious symbols and practices going back to the seventeenth century were reformulated and acquired a new significance in the colonial context. Arguing for a reappraisal of the relationship of Hinduism to politics, Price finds that these symbols and practices continue to inform popular expectation of political leadership today.

How did historiography fare relative to other kinds of Arabic literature? These and other questions are answered in Chase F.
