ISHRAT AUM CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2008 ABSTRACT The Patna-Gaya region was one of the crucial places of the British rule during 19* century. This was the period of several changes. These changes had adverse impact over the existing economic and social structure of the region concerned. Patna and Gaya comprised two contiguous districts located in the centre of the modern Bihar province. Patna is situated on the bank of river Ganges and Gaya is situated on the bank of river Naranjana (modern Phalgu). Agriculture was the mainstay of the economy. Ever since the region was sucked into colonial system, impact was felt by various sectors of economy and different sections of the society. The introduction of Permanent Settlement introduced noticeable changes in the existing rural economy and social structure. We have made an attempt to study some aspects of region in order to know about the situation obtaining during the crucial phase of the 19* century when the sway of capital and started impacting adversely the Patna-Gaya region. The first chapter dealt with some aspects of the population of the region. Amiya Kumar Bagchi had attempted on exhaustive study. A.K. Bagchi had tried to determine the proportions of industrial population to total population in the districts of Bihar surveyed by Buchanan Hmailton. Amiya Kumar Bagchi's starting discovery was that the implicit total growth of the 50-year period 1822-72 was around 60 per cent on a base of 37.5 million. While the growth of 49 year period between 1872-1921 was about 40 per cent (in Bengal, Bihar and Orissa). This had coincided de- urbanisation and de-industrialization. Bagchi's major finding is that 'industrial' segment of population had registered a decline form about 18.6 per cent of the total to about 8.5 per cent in the course of 90 years following 1809. Our discussion deals with the question of increasing occupation of rural space at the expense of urban space. Therefore contraction of urban space occupation strengthens the hypothesis of de-urbanisation and ruralization of the Patna-Gaya region. In the second chapter we have discussed agriculture, its various aspects of production and distribution. We have discussed the level of relations and agrarian relations during our period. Similarly peasants also had a hierarchy of relation. Moneylenders became an important feature of the village society by their role in peasant production and its distribution. In the peasant production, prices of commodities, market and rent were the deciding factors. Prices of the commodities were quiet low in this region. This was mainly due to absence of market in the close vicinity for agricultural commodities. We find that there was an effort by the zamindars or rural bureaucracy to extract produce rent instead of money rent. For small cultivators and agricultural labourers were at the lowest ebb of the society. By the end of the period, their condition had taken a turn for the worst. This section constituted forty per cent of the population facing acute shortage. Kamia or bonded labour was an important feature of the region. During agricultural season there was a great demand for labourers. Therefore, the peasants adopted an ingenious debt mechanism to ensure the supply of labour. They provided money in advance to the kamia and after accepting this money as debt, he was bound to serve under his 'maik'. The third chapter deals with trade and commerce in the Patna-Gaya region. It was one of the famous centres of cotton textile industry and its trade. Saltpeter manufacture and its decline during the 19* century is also discussed. Surprisingly saltpeter attracted the required attention of our predecessor's studies of the region. Patna served as an important entrepot of the region. Its geographical location gave it an edge over others. Commodities from the hinterland arrived at Patna and then got redistributed mainly through its waterways. But coming of railways changed the complexion of trade and commerce. Last chapter deals with gender and labour. This is an area ignored by previous scholars. Their contribution in economic life was not insignificant and hence justifies any attempt to understand various dimensions of the problem.

Such changes were particularly evident in the nature of demographic changes which were taking place during the period under consideration. In India agricultural conditions are of far greater importance in determining the distribution of population.^ It has been noted by Alok Sheel that the population density was inversely associated with ecological patterns. Accordingly, the concentiation of population was more in the vicinity of the Ganges then in the far off places from the river.^The Settlement pattern was guided by availability of water especially owing to the demand for agricultural practice.^ Secondly, the hardness of soil also contiibuted to excessive dependence over the rivers on the one hand, and on the other river course do not change radically in such territories as is a 1 Brij Narayan, Indian economic Life, Past and Present, p. 340. 2 Cf.

The Rajgir hills which enters the district from Gaya, consists of two parallel ranges. Most parts of this hill are rocky and covered with low jungles.^ The district of Gaya consists of two tracts. The southern one consists of high land partly covered with jungle and with a strong slope to the north.6 A considerable portion of this part has been included in the Chota Nagpur plateau had sparse population.^ Northern including western part was less fertile while eastern portion of the district was highly cultivated.^ This was the reason that the population density in Gaya.

    Ramcharitmanas to Dhnoraicharitmanas: An Overview of the Construction of Identity of an Indian and India Ronita Bhattacharya University of Georgia 95 “Probably no work of world literature, secular in origin, has ever produced so profound an infl uence on the life and thought of a people as the Ramayana” A. A. Macdonnell In Imagined Communities, Benedict Anderson made famous the argument that the nation lives in homogeneous empty time. In this argument, he follows a dominant strand in modern historical thinking that imagines the social space of modernity as distributed in homogeneous empty space what a Marxist would call the time of Capital. Anderson explicitly adopts the formulation from Walter Benjamin and uses it to show the material possibilities of large anonymous societies formulated by the simultaneous experiences of reading the daily newspaper and following the private lives of popular fi ctional characters (Chatterjee, Th e Politics of the Governed 4). But, what happens in the case of a community that is defi ned by an epic and that extends from a pre-capitalist to a capitalist time? Imagine a situation where stories are shared independently of the literacy of the people and of what we understand as the media. How is this situation conducive to the construction of an imagined community? Th ere is one such community that spans at least three-fourths of Asia, encompassing hundreds of linguistic and ethnic groups that share neither national boundaries nor a religious identity nor even the “same” story, since there was and still is not any sanction to restrict the story into one “original” version.

TEL: 0651-2241509 1 2 PREFACE Following the completion of the first phase of the social assessment study and its sharing with the BRLP and World Bank team, on February 1, 2007 consultation at the BRLP office, we picked up the feedback and observations to be used for the second phase of study covering three more districts of Purnia, Muzaffarpur and Madhubani. Happily, the findings of the first phase of the study covering Nalanada,Gaya and Khagaria were widely appreciated and we decided to use the same approach and tools for the second phase as was used for the first phase. As per the ToR a detailed Tribal Development Project (TDP) was mandated for the district with substantial tribal population. Purnia happens to be the only district, among the three short listed districts, with substantial tribal (Santhal) population. Accordingly, we undertook and completed a TDP and shared the same with BRLP and the World Bank expert Ms.Vara Lakshnmi. The TDP was minutely analyzed and discussed with Vara, Archana and the ADRI team. Subsequently, the electronic version of the TDP has been finalized and submitted to Ms.Vara Lakshmi for expediting the processing of the same.

  • Fairs & Festivals, Part VII-B, Vol-XIV, Rajasthan
    PRG. 172 B (N) 1,000 CENSUS OF INDIA 1961 VOLUME XIV .RAJASTHAN PART VII-B FAIRS & FESTIVALS c. S. GUPTA OF THE INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE Superintendent of Census Operations, Rajasthan 1966 PREFACE Men are by their nature fond of festivals and as social beings they are also fond of congregating, gathe­ ring together and celebrating occasions jointly. Festivals thus culminate in fairs. Some fairs and festivals are mythological and are based on ancient traditional stories of gods and goddesses while others commemorate the memories of some illustrious pers<?ns of distinguished bravery or. persons with super-human powers who are now reverenced and idealised and who are mentioned in the folk lore, heroic verses, where their exploits are celebrated and in devotional songs sung in their praise. Fairs and festivals have always. been important parts of our social fabric and culture. While the orthodox celebrates all or most of them the common man usually cares only for the important ones. In the pages that follow an attempt is made to present notes on some selected fairs and festivals which are particularly of local importance and are characteristically Rajasthani in their character and content.
