Book Synopsis Empire and Ecology in the Bengal Delta by : Debjani Bhattacharyya
Download or read book Empire and Ecology in the Bengal Delta written by Debjani Bhattacharyya and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-24 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when a distant colonial power tries to tame an unfamiliar terrain in the world's largest tidal delta? This history of dramatic ecological changes in the Bengal Delta from 1760 to 1920 involves land, water and humans, tracing the stories and struggles that link them together. Pushing beyond narratives of environmental decline, Bhattacharyya argues that 'property-thinking', a governing tool critical in making land and water discrete categories of bureaucratic and legal management, was at the heart of colonial urbanization and the technologies behind the draining of Calcutta. The story of ecological change is narrated alongside emergent practices of land speculation and transformation in colonial law. Bhattacharyya demonstrates how this history continues to shape our built environments with devastating consequences, as shown in the Bay of Bengal's receding coastline.

Book Synopsis Calcutta Poor by : Frederic C. Thomas
Download or read book Calcutta Poor written by Frederic C. Thomas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calcutta is notorious for its pavement dwellers, street children, and scavengers that have become a portrait of the worst sort of human degradation. In this illuminating critique, Thomas investigates the standard solutions - improved housing, increased job creation, and intervention of social services agencies - only to come to the conclusion that such initiatives have little effect on the inherent nature of the problem of poverty. Based on historical and anthropological findings, and the author's visits to the slums of Calcutta, what becomes clear is that even in the midst of great poverty, there is a nobility of character, a vitality of ethnic and cultural ties, and an energy that bring out inventiveness and ingenuity in the lives of the poor. If Calcutta's poverty is not to be an intractable problem, these internal forces must be awakened to generate solutions. Illustrated with stunning photographs, Thomas's reflections provide new insight into an age-old problem.
Book Synopsis Calcutta in Colonial Transition by : Ranjit Sen
Download or read book Calcutta in Colonial Transition written by Ranjit Sen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings home the story of how three clustered villages grew into a primate city, in which a garrison town, a port city and the capital of an empire merged into one entity—Calcutta. This and its companion volume Birth of a Colonial City examine the geopolitical factors that were significant in securing Calcutta's position in the light of growing influence of the East India Company and subsequently the British Empire. A definitive history of Calcutta in its nascent years, this book discusses the challenges of city-planning, the de-industrialization at the hands of British imperialists, the catastrophic fall of the Union Bank, the advent of British capital, and the rise of the Bengali business enterprise in the colonial era. It also underlines how Calcutta facilitated the development of a political consciousness and the pivotal political and cultural role it played when the movement for independence took hold in the country. This volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of modern South Asian history, British Studies, city and area studies.

Book Synopsis Bibliography of the East India Company by : Catherine Pickett
Download or read book Bibliography of the East India Company written by Catherine Pickett and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This annotated bibliography continues and completes the earlier volume, Bibliography of the East India Company: Books, Pamphlets and Other Materials Printed Between 1600 and 1785. It traces the fortunes of the Company, following the India Act of 1784, through contemporary publications such as books, pamphlets, and maps. These detail the Directors' sometimes fraught relationship with the Board of Control and with Parliament, the gradual decline of the Company's commercial business, the loss of its trading monopoly, and the increasingly heavy burden of the administration of India by its civil and military servants, culminating in the Indian "mutiny" and the Company's dissolution. These printed sources also reveal the consequences for the Company and for India of contemporary social movements and behaviors, such as the rise of evangelical Christianity and the increasingly superior attitudes of British officials to the Indian population. The bibliography is arranged chronologically, with introductory explanations of the historical context relevant to each year. It is complemented by appendices listing the articles of charge against Warren Hastings, the individual contents of a number of compilations of documents relating to his trial, and a list of statutes relevant to the Company.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic work in postcolonial studies, Masks of Conquest describes the introduction of English studies in India under British rule and illuminates the discipline's transcontinental movements and derivations, showing that the origins of English studies are as diverse and diffuse as its future shape. In her new preface, Gauri Viswanathan argues forcefully that the curricular study of English can no longer be understood innocently of or inattentively to the imperial contexts in which the discipline first articulated its mission.
