Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Tea Planter's Life in Assam: With Seventy-Five Illustrations by the Author There are, doubtless, many intending emigrants who desire to learn something of the country in which they purpose spending some years of their lives, and what may be the probability of acquiring sufficient wealth to enable them to return home with a com petence for the remainder of their days. When in such a position myself, my inquiries, addressed to travellers who seemed to know most corners of the world, obtained but meagre replies: Assam - yes beastly unhealthy hole; better not go there. Beyond this point their knowledge did not appear to extend. Other sources of information were consulted, but in vain was anything definite looked for. At length an old friend resident in Assam sent me the long-desired information, and this, together with my own subse quent experience, I now hand over to my readers.

Download or read book Coolies of Capitalism written by Nitin Varma and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Coolie” is a generic category for the “unskilled” manual labour. The offering of services for hire had various pre-colonial lineages. In the nineteenth century there was an attempt to recast the term in discursive constructions and material practices for “mobilized-immobilized” labour. Coolie labour was often proclaimed as a deliberate compromise straddling the regimes of the past (slave labour) and the future (free labour). It was portrayed as a stage in a promised transition. The tea plantations of Assam, like many other tropical plantations in South Asia, were inaugurated and formalized during this period. They were initially worked by the locals. In the late 1850s, the locals were replaced by labourers imported from outside the province who were unquestioningly designated “coolies” in the historical literature. Qualifying this framework of transition (local to coolie labour) and introduction (of coolie labour), this study makes a case for the “production” of coolie labour in the history of the colonial-capitalist plantations in Assam. The intention of the research is not to suggest an unfettered agency of colonial-capitalism in defining and “producing” coolies, with an emphasis on the attendant contingencies, negotiations, contestations and crises. The study intervenes in the narratives of an abrupt appearance of the archetypical coolie of the tea gardens (i.e., imported and indentured) and situates this archetype’s emergence, sustenance and shifts in the context of material and discursive processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tea-Culture as a Probable American IndustryThis company, having by reckless management thrown away one million of dollars, was brought to the verge of bankruptcy. Better counsel and more economical management having prevailed, the success of the enterprise was subsequently established. The teas manufactured from the Assam plant were at first rejected by the London brokers, but more care having been given to the manipulation of the leaf, and to other processes of manufacture, the product brought higher prices than the finest Chinese teas. This gave an impulse to the new industry in Assam, which soon Spread to the Himalaya slopes and to other parts of British India.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tea Soils of Assam and Tea Manuring The successful production of any plant or any vegetable products is influenced for good or for evil by a number of conditions, Soil, climate, "breed," of plant, conditions of culture, prevalence of pest and blights, may each play a preponderating role in deciding the possibility or impossibility of profitable growing a plant in a given situation. But among these natural conditions there is perhaps none (except that of climate - and this is entirely beyond our control) which plays a more fundamental part in determining the character of the cultivated plants in a country or a district than that of the soil. Its character in England, for instance, determines whether land shall be devoted to wheat or to barley, to turnips or ti some other root crop, to pasture or to arable culture. In Indian likewise, entirely apart from climatic questions, it determines the paramount suitability of a district for rice, for millet, for cotton, for sugar or for tobacco. Its influence is not less paramount in the case of tea. In many parts of the tea district it might be said that every condition has been favourable except that of soil, but as a result if bad soil conditions in certain Assam districts garden after has passed entirely out of cultivation. It might be thought that the essential importance of a suitable soil was too obvious to need that stress should be laid on it, but I have noticed quite a number of pieces of tea put out during the past three years in total ignorance of the character of the subsoil - which really proved to be very unsuitable, - and also in positions where the tea can never flourish nor do well. Such incidents seem to indicate that there is room for insisting on the soil requirements of the tea bush, and for further investigating those soil conditions which answer the purpose best.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Times in Assam The following pages contain nothing new or original. They are merely reprints from the columns of the Englishman and the Indian Planters' Gazette, and I have to thank the proprietors of those papers for permission to republish sketches of old times in Assam, which may prove interesting to a new generation of planters who know only the Assam of the present day, with its daily mail steamers on the river, and its improved communications and higher civilisation generally. There was much of interest in those old times which has never been recorded, and I can only hope that a more capable chronicler among the survivors of the early days of tea in Assam may be stirred up to fittingly record, for the admiration of the present generation, what was done and suffered by the pioneers of the tea industry.

Download or read book Unfolding Crisis in Assam's Tea Plantations written by Deepak K. Mishra and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Indian economy integrates into global circuits of production, exchange and accumulation, the burdens of adjustment are shared unequally by different sectors, classes and regions. This study unravels the livelihood strategies and living conditions of labour in the tea gardens of Assam. The tea sector has been undergoing a crisis since the 1990s, with stagnant production, decline in exports, and closures of many tea gardens leading to large-scale retrenchments in the labour force. Based on a detailed analysis of secondary data and primary field research, the study examines the extent, types and implications of inter-generational occupational mobility (or immobility) among tea garden labourers in Assam. In the process, it reflects on how even a sector that had brought capital and labour from outside and contributed significantly to the country’s export earnings failed to create dynamic growth linkages within the local economy. The experience of the labour force in the Assam tea sector, the authors argue, is important for making sense not only of the development dynamics of the region, but of the contradictory ways in which forces of globalisation and neo-liberal reforms have been reshaping the worlds of labourers in the margins. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of labour studies, development studies, management studies, and studies of north-east India, as well as to policy-makers and those in the tea industry.
