  • Religious Identity and the Provision of Public Goods: Evidence from the Indian Princely States∗
    Religious Identity and the Provision of Public Goods: Evidence from the Indian Princely States∗ Latika Chaudharyy Jared Rubinz March 2015 Abstract Identifying the effect of a ruler’s religious identity on policy is challenging because religious identity rarely varies over time and place. We address this problem by ex- ploiting quasi-random variation in the religion of rulers in the Indian Princely States. Using data from the 1911 census, we find that Muslim-ruled states had lower Hindu literacy but the religion of the ruler had no statistically significant impact on Mus- lim literacy, railroad ownership, or post office provision. These results support the hypothesis that rulers provide less public goods when religious institutions provide a substitute targeted at their co-religionists. Keywords: Public Goods, Identity, Religion, Literacy, Railroads, Post Offices, Princely States, India, Islam, Hinduism JEL Codes: H41, H42, N35, H75, I25, Z12 ∗We are grateful to Sheetal Bharat for sharing her data on colonial post offices. We also wish to thank Sascha Becker, Shameel Ahmad, Lakshmi Iyer, Saumitra Jha, Petra Moser and seminar participants at Stanford University, the 2014 Yale South Asian Economic History Conference, the 2014 ASREC, 2013 AEA and 2012 WEAI Conferences for helpful comments.
