Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As well as being an outstanding contribution to Indian economic and social history, this book draws important conclusions about peasant politics in general and about the effects of international economic fluctuations on primary producing countries. Dr Bose develops a general typology of systems of agrarian production in Bengal to show how these responded to different types of pressure from the world economy, and treats in detail the effects of the world Depression on Bengal. Separate chapters are devoted to the themes of agrarian conflict and religious strife in east Bengal, the agrarian dimension of mass nationalism in west Bengal and sharecroppers agitations in the frontier regions. The conclusion attempts a synthesis of the typology of agrarian social structure and the periodisation of peasant politics, placing this in the wider context of agrarian societies and protest in other parts of India and in South-east Asia.

Download or read book Politics in West Bengal written by Keshab Chandra Mandal Ph D and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the book This is a research-oriented book. The book is the result of a research study carried out on the eve of the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections. The aims and objectives of the research were to understand the social, economic, political, educational, health, and industrial status of West Bengal; to investigate the achievements of the Trinamool Congress government in the last ten years; to comprehend people's perception regarding the performance of the TMC government, and finally to recommend some policy prescriptions to the 'people in power.' At the end of the elections, further, the researcher explored the nature and extent of violence that took place in elections and what were the reasons for the deplorable defeats of Congress, CPI(M), and BJP. The book contains a total of nine chapters wherein the major issues of the 2021 assembly elections in West Bengal were examined. Why the blitzkrieg campaign by the prime minister, home minister, and some other union ministers as well as many key national political leaders of BJP remained unproductive analyzed scientifically. The dynamic role and functions of the Election Commission of India in conducting free and fair elections were examined critically. How the CPI(M) came to power through its chakka jam and 'break all, destruct all' politics have been delineated. Why BJP was defeated and CPI(M) and Congress were evanesced from West Bengal assembly elections were the most curious chapters to the readers. How the politics of tolabaji, syndicateraj, misrule, and corruption of the present Trinamool Congress government have become the norm of the day has been highlighted. Finally, the book provides some concrete suggestions for the holistic development and growth of the State. The students and researchers of state politics will be immensely benefitted from this book. Moreover, the politically (over)conscious Bengalees and other general readers might find some interesting material in it.

Book Synopsis Asian Countries: by : Mohsen Bahmani-Oskooee
Download or read book Asian Countries: written by Mohsen Bahmani-Oskooee and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2021 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over the last four decades, Asian countries have experienced a substantial increase in their global competitiveness. While some of this is due to their economic activity, politics are also a contributing factor. Technological advances, particularly concerning the internet and social media, have also contributed, as have many other factors. We expect information and communication technology led by the development of the internet to make the transformation of knowledge easier and more efficient, thus contributing to faster economic growth worldwide. Sound macroeconomic policy and political conditions facilitate this process. Many Asian countries have learned from the experience of the Asian Crisis of 1987 when the Thai baht lost its value due to a shortage of reserves by the Central bank of Thailand, and capital outflow spread throughout the region. Asian countries now know that to avoid such a run on foreign currencies, they must hold enough reserves to support their own currency. Sound fiscal and monetary policies, as well as an exchange rate policy combined with an efficient banking system, are required to enhance the reserve policy. Another requirement for the effectiveness of macroeconomic policies is desirable political conditions to enhance international confidence in these countries. Strong political stability requires sound rules, laws, and democratic institutions that must be transparent. Granting excessive power to any one ruler has proved to lead to corruption which is an impediment to growth. This book addresses the issues above by providing theoretical and empirical evidence using data from some countries in Asia"--

Book Synopsis Land Dispossession and Everyday Politics in Rural Eastern India by : Kenneth Bo Nielsen
Download or read book Land Dispossession and Everyday Politics in Rural Eastern India written by Kenneth Bo Nielsen and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade India has witnessed a number of land wars that have centred crucially on the often forcible transfer of land from small farmers or indigenous groups to private companies. Among these, the land war that erupted in Singur, West Bengal, in 2006, went on to make national headlines and become paradigmatic of many of the challenges and social conflicts that arise when a state-led policy of swiftly transferring land to private sector companies encounters resistance on the ground. Land Dispossession and Everyday Politics in Rural Eastern India analyses the movement by Singur’s so-called unwilling farmers to retain and reclaim their farmland. By foregrounding the everyday politics of popular mobilization, the book sheds new light on the movement’s internal politics as well as on contentious issues rooted in everyday caste, class and gender relations.
Book Synopsis Employment, Poverty and Rights in India by : Dayabati Roy
Download or read book Employment, Poverty and Rights in India written by Dayabati Roy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In comparison to other social groups, India’s rural poor – and particularly Adivasis and Dalits - have seen little benefit from the country’s economic growth over the last three decades. Though economists and statisticians are able to model the form and extent of this inequality, their work is rarely concerned with identifying possible causes. Employment, Poverty and Rights in India analyses unemployment in India and explains why the issues of employment and unemployment should be the appropriate prism to understand the status of wellbeing in India. The author provides a historical analysis of policy interventions on behalf of the colonial and postcolonial state with regard to the alleviation of unemployment and poverty in India and in West Bengal in particular. Arguing that, as long as poverty - either as a concept or as an empirical condition - remains as a technical issue to be managed by governmental technologies, the ‘poor’ will be held responsible for their own fate and the extent of poverty will continue to increase. The book contends that rural unemployment in India is not just an economic issue but a political process that has consistently been shaped by various socio-economic, political and cultural factors since the colonial period. The analysis which depends mainly on ethnography extends to the implementation of the ‘New Rights Agenda’, such as the MGNREGA, at the rural margin. Challenging the dominant approach to poverty, this book will be of interest to scholars working in the fields of South Asian studies, Indian Political Economy, contemporary political theories, poverty studies, neo-liberalism, sociology and social anthropology as well as development studies.
Book Synopsis Indian Politics and Society since Independence by : Bidyut Chakrabarty
Download or read book Indian Politics and Society since Independence written by Bidyut Chakrabarty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-05-12 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on politics and society in India, this book explores new areas enmeshed in the complex social, economic and political processes in the country. Linking the structural characteristics with the broader sociological context, the book emphasizes the strong influence of sociological issues on politics, such as social milieu shaping and the articulation of the political in day-to-day events. Political events are connected with the ever-changing social, economic and political processes in order to provide an analytical framework to explain ‘peculiarities’ of Indian politics. Bidyut Chakrabarty argues that three major ideological influences of colonialism, nationalism and democracy have provided the foundational values of Indian politics. Structured thematically and chronologically, this work is a useful resource for students of political science, sociology and South Asian studies.
