Co-Evolutionary Perspectives on Domesticated Cattle in Early Lloyd Edward Price Workers , m other s, pests : Co -evolutionary perspectives on domesticated cattle in early twentieth century North India Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) 2019 School of History, Archaeology and Religion Cardiff University ABSTRACT This thesis builds upo n political , environmental and veterinary histories of domesticated cattle in South Asia , by offering the first study of animal husbandry in British Imperial and Hindu Nationalist discourses at the turn of the twentieth century. Drawing upon English and vernacular Hindi archives, comparative analysis demonstrates that the socio -cultural, material and environmental dynamics of animal domestication were influence d by perceptions of animal behaviour. It shows that in textbooks, reports and journals published by agriculturalists, cattle breeders and dairy farmers , four primary behaviours of cattle became the subject of competing ideas about the development an d decline of cattle populations and agricultural society. These were the instincts to consume, rear, mate and live as a herd. North India offers a unique context in which to explore why colonial science and indigenous knowledge formed competing perspectives of how the se behaviours contributed towards the coevolution of humans and cattle. Previous narratives share d the assumption that prior to the formalisation of animal husbandry in imperial institutions of the 1930s, human -cattle relations were unchanged from time imm emorial. The purpose of this thesis is to challenge this assumption, to demonstrate that early twentieth century animal husbandry was shaped by a confluence of socio -cultural, environmental, and behavioural forces. Drawing on social, environmental, and ani mal histories, this thesis is able to demonstrate that changing norms of domestication were the product of compromise, interaction with and responses to , the physiology and behaviour of cattle . iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS vi LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS viii LIST OF FIGURES ix GLOSSARY xi INTRODUCTION xii I Context of thesis xvii II Focus of t hesis xx III Theory and method xxi IV Plan of t hesis xxiv V Sources and l imitations xxvii i CHAPTER 1 - Cattle in colonial and religious nationalist discourse : A historiography 1 1.1 Colonialism, c attle and the discourses of mastery 1 1.2 Cow protectionism, religious n ationalism and the c ow 8 1.3 The a nimal in colonial and indigenous t hought 16 1.4 Conclusion 28 CHAPTER 2 - Pests, producer s and agricultural chemistry in late nineteenth century North India 30 2.1 Consuming fod der and producing dung: A socio -cultural history 31 2.2 People, pests and the animal geographies of North India 37 2.3 Chemistry, manure and cattl e as converters 45 2.4 Conclusion 54 CHAPTER 3 - Mother cow, milk and maternal behaviour 57 3.1 Milk, nationalism and the maternal bond 58 3.2 Milkmen, calves and military d airy f arms 62 3.3 Mothers in c olonial and Hindu n ationalist discourse 74 3.4 Conclusion 81 CHAPTER 4 - Stud bulls , agency and the breeding (or rearing) of cattle 82 4.1 Cattle breeding in the Punjab 84 4.2 Bre eding stud bulls at the Hissar cattle f arm 90 4.3 Rearing bulls in the sub -montane grazing lands 97 4.4 Conclusion 108 iv CHAPTER 5 - The “carnal desires” of wandering Brahmani bulls 110 5.1 Brahmani bulls and breeding in North India 111 5.2 Colonial law, Hindu nationalists and the wandering bull 117 5.3 Sacred spaces, “wild” bull s and colonial governance 127 5.4 Conclusion 138 CHAPTER 6 - Working bullocks , missionaries and machine s 140 6.1 Higginbottom, modernity and agricultural technology 142 6.2 Tractors, ploughs and development in No rth India 149 6.3 Agricultural pro gress in twentieth century India: A retrospective 161 6.4 Conclusion 169 CONCLUSION 171 APPENDIC ES 182 BIBLIOGRAPHY 190 v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey to complete this thesis has led me to throw out much of what I understood about life, to jump out of my comfort z one and allow an entirely new culture, language and way of living to guide my path . From the first time I stepped off the plane and found myself overwhelmed by the bustling streets of Jaipur in 2015, my time researching South Asian history has challenge d me t o become a better researcher, linguist and person . Through all the challenges, struggle s and mo ments of euphoria, this journey has also taught me the importance of people, whether it is family, friends or all the kind -hearted souls that we cross paths w ith along the way . With this in mind, I will start by thanking Padma Anagol, my primary supervisor at Cardiff University. For many years Padma has been my teacher, mentor and friend . She has pushed me from strength to strength, helping me thr ough tough t imes and given me the keys to open new doors in academia, and as a person . Thank you for taking me under your wing all those years ago. Thanks to Peter Coates, my primary supervisor at the University of Bristol. For the past four years, Peter has provid ed a constant supply of ideas, creativity and focused guidance . He has always supported my ideas while pushing me to think outside the box, and encouraging me to truly give a voice to the animal in history. My thesis has benefited greatly from the advice , support and encouragement of my second supervisor at Cardiff University , Keir Waddington. At each stage of my thesis, Keir has posed questions that challenge d me to work hard , think creatively and bring animal history to a wider academic audience. This work was supported by the AHRC South, West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership (grant number AH/L503939/1). My research would not be possible without the work of librarians, archivists and supporting staff at the Arts and Social Studies Library, Cardiff; British Library, London; Centre of South Asian Studies, Cambridge; National Archives of India, Delhi; Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, Delhi; Uttar Pradesh State Archives, Lucknow; Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, Allahabad; Nagari Pracharini Sabha; Vara nasi; Alber t and Shirley Small Collections, Charlottesville. Each stage of this thesis has been improved by the invaluable feedback and guidance of various academic staff at Cardiff University . I would like to thank Kevin Passmore, Ian Rapley, Gavin Murr ay -Miller, Rachel Her rmann and James Hegarty amongst others for their advice, support and the invaluable inspiration they have provided me over the past years . I w ould also like to thank Daniel Haines, Becky Whay and all staff and students at the Universit y of Bristol for a warm welcome and for offering their time to discuss and explore ideas duri ng the early stages vi of the PhD . I would also like to thank Rose Jones and Chantelle Paine at the DTP for going beyond the call of duty to help with every query and resolve any problems. Thank s to Shachi Chotia and all the s taff at the Hindihour L anguage school in Jaipur, for their patience and support in teaching me the language, as well as providing invaluable friendships and a home away from home . This thesis would not have been possible without the advice and escape provided by my friends and family in Cardiff. I also must open my heart and thank all the friends I have made on the road ; Ghee for all the adventures at home and in India; Shrey, Sindhu and Heeral in Delhi ; the Chotias, Khandals , footballers at Suraj Maidan and all my friends in Jaipu r; Rashmi, Abdesh and family in Lucknow. Finally , I need to thank every autowala, chaiwala, waiter, barber, revellers at Assi Ghat , any body that took the time to chat in Hindi. T hank you for making me feel at home in your country. I need to thank my parents Ken and Debbie and my sister Megan for supporting me along the way, listening patiently and for always giving me a home to return to after trips around the world. I would also like to thank our family dog Millie, for making me wonder why animals do the things they do. Finally, I woul d like to thank my partner Mira for her love, patience and support to get me over the finish line. What started as a cup of coffee wit h a Welsh woman of South Asian heritage bloomed into a loving relationship that intertwined two cultures. Her willingness to domesticate this wayward traveller and ground him in reality have helped me to overcome many challenging moments and learn to relax when the day is done . I would also like to thank her family for welcoming me with open arms . While my time in India may be over for now, they ensure that South Asia will always be part of my life. vii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS AAI Allahab ad Agricultural Institute CTA Cattle Trespass Act of 1871 CVD Civil Veterinary Department EIC British East India Company ICAR Imperial Council of Agricultural Research IVRI Imperial Veterinary Research Institute MDF Military Dairy Farm NWP No rt h-Western Provinces and Oudh (18 78 -1902) RCA Royal Commission on Agriculture UP The United Provinces of Oudh and Agra (1902 -1947 ) viii LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1 : ‘A cow wandering around a suburb of Jaipur ’ (p hoto by Lloyd Price, 30/07/ 2015). xii i Figure 2 : ‘Crest of the Darb hanga Gaush l Society,’ from Sharma Gaur, Gauraksh (Cow P rotection) (Darbhanga, 1937). 11 Figure 3: ‘Cattle breeds of India’, from Chandr vati R dh raman, Sandulita Gau -Plan ( Traditio nal Cattle B reeding ) (Allahabad, 1949) . 18 Figure 4: ‘ Characteristics of an Exceptionable Bull’, from Chandr vati R dh raman, Sandulita Gau -Plan (Traditiona l Cattle B reeding) (Allahabad, 1949).

Though individual language wise surveys have been done in large number, however state wise survey of languages of India has not taken place. The main reason is that such a survey project requires large manpower and financial support. Linguistic Survey of India opens up new avenues for language studies and adds successfully to the linguistic profile of the state. In view of its relevance in academic life, the Office of the Registrar General, India, Language Division, has taken up the Linguistic Survey of India as an ongoing project of Government of India. It gives me immense pleasure in presenting LSI- Bihar volume. The present volume devoted to the state of Bihar has the description of three languages namely Hindi, Maithili, Urdu along with four Mother Tongues namely Bhojpuri, Kurmali Thar, Magadhi/ Magahi, Surjapuri.

  • Indigenous Spectres, Subversive Lilas: Encounters Between Nawabi Authority, Colonialism and Popular Ritual in Lucknow

It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of Art History, Visual Culture and Theory The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Dated October 8,2003 ABSTRACT The constructions of religion and ritual have been central to constituting a colonial vision of India and The Holi Festival at Lucknow is an important and early visual site of this dynamic and history. This small watercolor painting was completed in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, an intense and conflicted period in which the rulers of Awadh and their negotiations of self and sovereignty had to contend with the forceful power/knowledge nexus of colonialism. I argue that The Holi Festival at Lucknow draws upon the vocabularies of the picturesque and the sublime for a construction of knowledge that would be instrumental in justifying colonization.

  • Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India
    Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India Gyanendra Pandey CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Remembering Partition Violence, Nationalism and History in India Through an investigation of the violence that marked the partition of British India in 1947, this book analyses questions of history and mem- ory, the nationalisation of populations and their pasts, and the ways in which violent events are remembered (or forgotten) in order to en- sure the unity of the collective subject – community or nation. Stressing the continuous entanglement of ‘event’ and ‘interpretation’, the author emphasises both the enormity of the violence of 1947 and its shifting meanings and contours. The book provides a sustained critique of the procedures of history-writing and nationalist myth-making on the ques- tion of violence, and examines how local forms of sociality are consti- tuted and reconstituted by the experience and representation of violent events. It concludes with a comment on the different kinds of political community that may still be imagined even in the wake of Partition and events like it. GYANENDRA PANDEY is Professor of Anthropology and History at Johns Hopkins University. He was a founder member of the Subaltern Studies group and is the author of many publications including The Con- struction of Communalism in Colonial North India (1990) and, as editor, Hindus and Others: the Question of Identity in India Today (1993).

  • Madhya Bharti 75 21.07.18 English
    A Note on Paradoxes and Some Applications Ram Prasad At times thoughts in prints, dialogues, conversations and the likes create illusion among people. There may be one reason or the other that causes fallacies. Whenever one attempts to clear the illusion to get the logical end and is unable to, one may slip into the domain of paradoxes. A paradox seemingly may appear absurd or self contradictory that may have in fact a high sense of thought. Here a wide meaning of it including its shades is taken. There is a group of similar sensing words each of which challenges the wit of an onlooker. A paradox sometimes surfaces as and when one is in deep immersion of thought. Unprinted or oral thoughts including paradoxes can rarely survive. Some paradoxes always stay folded to gaily mock on. In deep immersion of thought W S Gilbert remarks on it in the following poetic form - How quaint the ways of paradox At common sense she gaily mocks1 The first student to expect great things of Philosophy only to suffer disillusionment was Socrates (Sokratez) -'what hopes I had formed and how grievously was I disappointed'. In the beginning of the twentieth century mathematicians and logicians rigidly argued on topics which appear possessing intuitively valid but apparently contrary statements. At times when no logical end is seen around and the topic felt hot, more on lookers would enter into these entanglements with argumentative approach. May be, but some 'wise' souls would manage to escape. Zeno's wraths - the Dichotomy, the Achilles, the Arrow and the Stadium made thinkers very uncomfortable all along.

  • Chapter-1 Introduction 1. Introduction
    CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION Education, in the broad sense, means preparation for life, it aims at all round development of individuals. Thus education is concerned with developing optimum organic health and emotional vitality such as social consciousness, acquisition of knowledge, wholesome attitude, moral and spiritual qualities.1 Education is also considered a process by which, individual is shaped to fit into the society to maintain and advance the social order. It is a system designed to make an individual rational, mature and a knowledgeable human being. Education is the modification of behaviour of an individual for the better adjustment in the society and for making a useful and worthwhile citizen. 2 The pragmatic view of education highlights learning by doing. Learning by doing takes place in the class room, in the library, on the play ground, in the gymnasium, or on the trips at home. 3 Civilized societies have always felt the need for physical education for its members except during the middle ages, when physical education as is typically known today found almost no place within the major educational pattern that prevailed. During the period, in Europe, asceticism in the early Christian church on the other hand set a premium on physical weakness in the vain hope that this was the path to spiritual excellence.4 During the middle age sports was associated with military motives, since many of the physical activities were designed to harden and strengthen man for combat5. The rapid development of physical education within the present century and the weighted influence accruing to some of its more spectacular activities suggest the imperative need, a clean understanding of unequal role, a well balanced programme in the field may give rise to the optimum growth and development of the youth.

Mangal Patasar n recent years the study of diaspora cultures, and of the role of music therein, has acquired a fresh salience, in accordance with the contem- porary intensification of mass migration and globalization in general. While current scholarship reflects a greater interest in hybridity and syncretism than in retentions, the study of neo-traditional arts in diasporic societies may still provide significant insights into the dynamics of cultural change. In this article I explore such dynamics as operant in a unique and sophisticated music genre of East Indians in the Caribbean.1 This genre, called "tan-sing- ing," has largely resisted syncretism and creolization, while at the same time coming to differ dramatically from its musical ancestors in India. Although idiosyncratically shaped by the specific circumstances of the Indo-Caribbean diaspora, tan-singing has evolved as an endogenous product of a particu- lar configuration of Indian cultural sources and influences.

  • Anticolonialism, Nationalism, and State Formation: the Rise of Pakistan
    ANTICOLONIALISM, NATIONALISM, AND STATE FORMATION: THE RISE OF PAKISTAN KASIM ALI TIRMIZEY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA September 2018 © Kasim Ali Tirmizey, 2018 Abstract There is ongoing popular and scholarly debate about the rise of Pakistan as a nation-state. Much of this literature frames the emergence either in cultural terms as a territorial expression of transhistorical Muslim nationhood, or in a liberal framing as the outcome of the political mobilization of the Muslim community against Hindu domination. This dissertation makes a corrective by examining the constitutive role of radical anticolonialism in the rise of Pakistan, with a focus on the province of Punjab in British India from 1880 to 1947. I argue that the formation of the Pakistani nation-state entailed the condensation of multiple political struggles over rescaling empire. Muslim nationalism reified struggles over land, food, women’s bodies, and access to the colonial state as ethnic struggles between Muslims and Hindus, thus codifying class, caste and religion in essentialist terms. Despite popular energies of agrarian classes against Hindu Bania (moneylender caste) were redirected into radical anticolonialism by the Ghadar Party in the 1910s, the demand for Pakistan subsequently shifted the scale of anti-Bania antagonisms among agrarian classes onto claims for a Muslim national space. The materialization of a Muslim national space (Pakistan) and Hindu national space (India) cannot be understood in the absence of the repression of radical anticolonial movements such as the Ghadar Party, the Kirti Kisan Party, and communist organizing.

  • Bihar Muslims' Response to Two Nation Theory 1940-47
    BIHAR MUSLIMS' RESPONSE TO TWO NATION THEORY 1940-47 ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Bortor of IN HISTORY BY MOHAMMAD SAJJAD UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF PROF. RAJ KUNAR TRIVEDI CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTOFflC AUGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2003 ABSTRACT Bihar Muslims' Response to Two Nation Theory 1940-47: The Lahore session (1940) of the Muslim League adopted a resolution in which Muslim majority areas were sought to be grouped as "autonomous and sovereign" , 'independent states". This vaguely worded resolution came to be known as Pakistan resolution. The Muslim League, from its days of foundation (in 1906) to the provincial elections of 1937, underwent many changes. However, after the elections of 1937 its desperation had increased manifold. During the period of the Congress ministry (1937-39), the League succeeded in winning over a sizeable section of the Muslims, more particularly the landed elites and educated middle class Muslims of Muslim minority provinces like U.P. and Bihar. From 1937 onwards, the divide between the two communities went on widening. Through a massive propaganda and tactful mobilizations, the League expanded its base, adopted a divisive resolution at Lahore (1940) and then on kept pushing its agenda which culminated into the partition of India. Nevertheless, the role of imperialism, the role of Hindu majoritarian organizations like the Hindu Mahasabha and tactical failure on the part of the Congress combined with communalization of the lower units of the Congress (notwithstanding the unifying ideals of the Congress working Committee) can not be denied in the partition of the country.
