Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In agrarian societies land is the most important means of wealth and source of power and prestige. Rights in land are often hereditary with power and prestige. Therefore, changes in the tenurial system and the pattern of ownership will have far reaching effects on the social order. The Indian peasantry appeared as a formidable force against foreign domination after the imposition of British authority. Investigates the impact of British rule in the agrarian relations of Malabar district, in the Madras presidency which came under the direct rule of the British in 1792 and the consequent complexities in landlord tenant relations. The various tenancy legislations and later land reforms in the State of Kerala are also studied. The relations of the Peasant movement with the nationalist movement and the role of the Malabar peasantry in the anti-imperialist, anti-landlord struggles are discussed at length.

Book Synopsis Islamic Reform in South Asia by : Filippo Osella
Download or read book Islamic Reform in South Asia written by Filippo Osella and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-16 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The articles in this volume build up ethnographic analysis complementary to the historiography of South Asian Islam, which has explored the emergence of reformism in the context of specific political and religious circumstances of nineteenth-century British India. Taking up diverse popular and scholarly debates as well as everyday religious practices, this volume also breaks away from the dominant trend of mainstream ethnographic work, which celebrates Sufi-inspired forms of Islam as tolerant, plural, authentic and so on, pitted against a 'reformist' Islam. Urging a more nuanced examination of all forms of reformism and their reception in practice, the contributions here powerfully demonstrate the historical and geographical specificities of reform projects. In doing so, they challenge prevailing perspectives in which substantially different traditions of reform are lumped together into one reified category (often carelessly shorthanded as 'wah'habism') and branded as extremist – if not altogether demonised as terrorist.

Book Synopsis Turkish History and Culture in India by :
Download or read book Turkish History and Culture in India written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-08-17 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary volume addresses the history, literature and material culture of peoples of Turkish origins in India over the eleventh to eighteenth centuries. Although many ruling dynasties and members of the elite in this period claimed Turkish descent, this aspect of their identity has seldom received much scholarly attention. The discussion is enriched by a focus on connections and comparisons with other parts of the broader Turko-Persian world, especially Anatolia. Although discussions of Turkish-Muslim rulers in India take account of their Central Asian origins and connections, links with Anatolia, stretching back to the medieval period, were also important in the formation of Turkish society and culture in India, and have been much less explored in the literature. The volume contains contributions by some of the leading scholars in the field.

Book Synopsis Mappila Muslim Culture by : Roland E. Miller
Download or read book Mappila Muslim Culture written by Roland E. Miller and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive account of the distinct culture of the Mappila Muslims, a large community from the southern Indian state of Kerala. Although they were the first Muslim community in South Asia, the Mappilas are little-known in the West. Roland E. Miller explores the Mappilas' fourteen-century-long history of social adaptation and their current status as a successful example of Muslim interaction with modernity. Once feared, now admired, Kerala's Mappilas have produced an intellectual renaissance and renewed their ancient status as a model of social harmony. Miller provides an account of Mappila history and looks at the formation of Mappila culture, which has developed through the interaction of Islamic and Malayali influences. Descriptions of current day life cycles, religion, ritual, work life, education, and leadership are included.

Book Synopsis The Arabian Seas: The Indian Ocean World of the Seventeenth Century by : Rene J. Barendse
Download or read book The Arabian Seas: The Indian Ocean World of the Seventeenth Century written by Rene J. Barendse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-08 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arabian Seas is a magisterial work on the world political economy (trade, war, power) that explores the intersect of the worlds of Islam (including South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East and East Africa) and the European world-economy (particularly the seafaring Portuguese, Dutch, and British) on the eve of the modern world system. It is likely to become a classic in its field and one of the pillars of the emerging literature in recent years that has begun to recast our understanding of the "early modern history" of Asia and the world economy, underlining the early and long predominance of Asia in the world economy and showing the long and deep ties between European and Asian economic and military interactions. This work centrally addresses current debates on the nature of the early modern world system and the relative strengths of East and West. There are no competitors for this book, but it may be compared with Braudel's masterful studies of the Mediterranean in the sense that it does for the Arabian Seas (Indian Ocean World) spanning South Asia, the Middle East, and the East African Coast and beyond what Braudel did for the Mediterranean.
Book Synopsis Two Colonial Empires by : C.A. Bayly
Download or read book Two Colonial Empires written by C.A. Bayly and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: by C. A. Bayly and D. H. A. Kolff The papers published in this volume were originally presented at two meetings of the Cambridg~-Leiden group for the comparative study of colonial India and Indonesia he1d in June 1979 and September 1982. These meetings were jointly sponsored by the Centre for the History of European Expansion at Leiden and the Centre for South Asian Studies at Cambridge. The Cambridge Centre had been restricted to the study of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Burma and Nepal but had recently incorporated Southeast Asia into its area of interest; the Leiden Centre, which had encouraged comparative study from the beginning, necessarily found itself concentrating attention on Indonesias as the most important region of the former Dutch colonial empire. The meetings were intended to be exploratory, as much to alert the participants to work being done in the respective countries and to their different types of academic discourse as to compare 'India' and 'Indonesia'. Nor were the meetings intended to be exclusive. Scholars from several British and Netherlands Universities were involved from the beginning. More recently a wider series of conferences has been inaugurated. This brings scholars in India and Indonesia into a project wich seeks to develop the comparisons between the * two colonial societies on a more systematic basis.
Book Synopsis Indian Muslims and Citizenship by : Julten Abdelhalim
Download or read book Indian Muslims and Citizenship written by Julten Abdelhalim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the creation of post-colonial citizenship, India adopted a hybridisation of specific secular and western conception of citizenship. In this democratic framework, Indian Muslims are observed on how they make use of the spaces and channels to accommodate their Islamic identity within a secular one. This book analyses how the socio-political context shapes citizens’ perceptions of multiple variables, such as their sense of political efficacy, agency, conception of citizenship rights and belief in democracy. Based on extensive surveys and interviews and through presenting and investigating the various meanings of jihād, the author explores the usage of non-Eurocentric conceptual approaches to the study of postcolonial and Muslim societies, in particular the meaning it carries in the psyche of the Muslim community. She argues that through means of argumentative and spiritual jihād, Indian Muslims fight their battle towards a realisation of citizenship ideals despite the unfavourable conditions of intra and inter community conflicts. Presenting new examinations of Islamic identity and citizenship in contemporary India, this book will be a useful contribution to the study of South Asian Studies, Religion, Islam, and Race and Ethnicity.
