B e n j a m i n G o d w i n , of Oxford, seconded by the Rev. C. M. B i r r e l l , of Liverpool, and supported by the Rev. J a m e s H o b y , D.D., of Birmingham. I. That the Report, which has now been read, be received and printed ; and that this meeting records its grateful satisfaction on account, of the various indications of the Divine blessing resting on the labours of the Society, particularly on the western portion of the mis­ sionary field. Moved by the Rev. J o h n H o w a r d H in t o n , M.A., seconded by the Rev. J o h n L e i p c h i l d . II. That this meeting cordially rejoices in the union lately effected between the Society and the Serampore Mission. It fully approves, also, the effort to send out an additional number of Missionaries to India; and as each of these measures will add very considerably to the permanent expenditure of the Society, already burdened with a heavy debt, the meeting earnestly solicits general, strenuous, and persevering exertions, to meet the exigencies of the mission. 1 Moved by the Rev. John Leechman, M.A., Missionary from Serampore, seconded by the Rev. J o s e p h B u r t o n , Missionary from the Bahamas. III. That this meeting observes., with deep regret, that no effectual measures have yet been taken to dissolve the apparent connexion between the British Government in the East, and the various abomina­ tions of heathen idolatry ; and it devoutlv implores the blessing of Heaven, to prosper all legitimate efforts to remove this and every other obstacle which impedes the progress of the Gospel of peace, and holi­ ness, and love. Moved by the Rev. E u s t a c e C a r e y , seconded by the Rev. J o se p h H a r r i s , (appointed to Ceylon). IV . That the Treasurer and Secretary be requested to continue their services to the Society; that Messrs. George Deane, Charles Spurden, and Charles Jones be Auditors; that the fifth rule of the * Plan of the Society ’ be altered, by substituting, instead of the words eighty members, the words, ‘ not more than one hundred members; * and that the following be the Committee for the year ensuing, with power to fill up vacancies.

    Caste Versus Class: Social Mobility in India, 1860- 2012

    Caste versus Class: Social Mobility in India, 1860- 2012 Gregory Clark, University of California, Davis Zach Landes, UCLA, Anderson School1 September, 2012 Using surname distributions, we compare long run social mobility rates for elite and underclass groups in India 1860-2012, with those of other societies such as Sweden and the USA. It is not clear whether recent social mobility rates in India should be higher or lower than in the West. The caste system notoriously embedded privilege in elite castes. But since Independence a quota of places in higher education, and in government jobs, have been reserved for the former lower castes. These quotas are now as great as 50% of such positions. Social mobility rates in India, however, prove to be extremely low, and not any higher now than under the Raj. Despite extensive social engineering India seems to be an unusually immobile society. We hypothesize that this immobility stems from continued strong marital endogamy in India. Introduction India is an interesting society in which to study rates of social mobility. On the one hand it entered the modern era with the legacy of the Hindu caste system, which found echoes also in Muslim society, which limited intermarriage, and even social intercourse, between those of different castes. This system of exclusion was so powerful that different castes and sub-castes, even within small geographic areas, have distinct DNA profiles. 2 There is the underfunded and poorly functioning primary and secondary public education system, which those of means have largely abandoned in favor of private schooling. Further many of the poor are located in rural areas for which educational provision is particularly poor, and private 1 With thanks to Lincoln Atkinson for his great help in digitizing the 2.2 million names of the Kolkata voters roll of 2010.
  • The Imperial and the Colonized Women's Viewing of the 'Other'

    The Imperial and the Colonized Women's Viewing of the 'Other'

    Gazing across the Divide in the Days of the Raj: The Imperial and the Colonized Women’s Viewing of the ‘Other’ Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg Vorgelegt von Sukla Chatterjee Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Hans Harder Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Benjamin Zachariah Heidelberg, 01.04.2016 Abstract This project investigates the crucial moment of social transformation of the colonized Bengali society in the nineteenth century, when Bengali women and their bodies were being used as the site of interaction for colonial, social, political, and cultural forces, subsequently giving birth to the ‘new woman.’ What did the ‘new woman’ think about themselves, their colonial counterparts, and where did they see themselves in the newly reordered Bengali society, are some of the crucial questions this thesis answers. Both colonial and colonized women have been secondary stakeholders of colonialism and due to the power asymmetry, colonial woman have found themselves in a relatively advantageous position to form perspectives and generate voluminous discourse on the colonized women. The research uses that as the point of departure and tries to shed light on the other side of the divide, where Bengali women use the residual freedom and colonial reforms to hone their gaze and form their perspectives on their western counterparts. Each chapter of the thesis deals with a particular aspect of the colonized women’s literary representation of the ‘other’. The first chapter on Krishnabhabini Das’ travelogue, A Bengali Woman in England (1885), makes a comparative ethnographic analysis of Bengal and England, to provide the recipe for a utopian society, which Bengal should strive to become.

From his student days he had been an avid book collector. He formed relationships with antiquarian booksellers throughout the north of England. His interests were eclectic but focused on English literature of the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of my father’s books have survived in the present collection. During childhood I paid little attention to his books but in later years I too became a collector. During the war I was evacuated to the Lake District and my school in Keswick incorporated Greta Hall, where Coleridge lived with Robert Southey and his family. So from an early age the Lake Poets were a significant part of my life and a focus of my book collecting.

However, the BIVR cannot accept responsibility for the accuracy of any of the information contained therein. I Background In 1588 Dr. Timothy Bright published the first book in England on a shorthand system, which he termed a 'Characterie'. The following year he was granted a 15-year patent monopoly of publishing books on this system (See Appendixl).1 This was followed in 1590 by a work by Peter Bales called a 'Brachygraphy' from the Greek for shorthand. The object was to produce a verbatim simultaneous account. These publications preceded similar publication in the contemporary Europe. This may therefore be a good occasion to celebrate the centenary of a striking development which must have influenced law-reporting and the requirements of the modern system of judicial precedent. As law-reporters we are primarily concerned with the use of methods of perpetuating the oral elements in legal proceedings. These range from obscure mnemonic and idiosyncratic jottings which had to be quickly extended by their authors to complete contemporary accounts of all that was said.

    Caste and Mate Selection in Modern India Online Appendix

    Marry for What? Caste and Mate Selection in Modern India Online Appendix By Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo, Maitreesh Ghatak and Jeanne Lafortune A. Theoretical Appendix A1. Adding unobserved characteristics This section proves that if exploration is not too costly, what individuals choose to be the set of options they explore reflects their true ordering over observables, even in the presence of an unobservable characteristic they may also care about. Formally, we assume that in addition to the two characteristics already in our model, x and y; there is another (payoff-relevant) characteristic z (such as demand for dowry) not observed by the respondent that may be correlated with x. Is it a problem for our empirical analysis that the decision-maker can make inferences about z from their observation of x? The short answer, which this section briefly explains, is no, as long as the cost of exploration (upon which z is revealed) is low enough. Suppose z 2 fH; Lg with H > L (say, the man is attractive or not). Let us modify the payoff of a woman of caste j and type y who is matched with a man of caste i and type (x; z) to uW (i; j; x; y) = A(j; i)f(x; y)z. Let the conditional probability of z upon observing x, is denoted by p(zjx): Given z is binary, p(Hjx)+ p(Ljx) = 1: In that case, the expected payoff of this woman is: A(j; i)f(x; y)p(Hjx)H + A(j; i)f(x; y)p(Ljx)L: Suppose the choice is between two men of caste i whose characteristics are x0 and x00 with x00 > x0.

But Man is not a mere machine. He is a human being with feelings of sympathy for some and antipathy for others. This is even true of the ‘best’ man. He too is charged with the feelings of class sympathies and class antipathies. Having regard to these considerations the ‘best’ man from the governing class may well turn out to be the worst from the point of view of the servile classes. The difference between the governing classes and the servile classes in the matter of their attitudes towards each other is the same as the attitude a person of one nation has for that of another nation. - Dr. Ambedkar in ‘What Congress.... etc.’ z:\ ambedkar\vol-09\vol9-01.indd MK SJ 10-1-2013/YS-13-11-2013 4 z:\ ambedkar\vol-09\vol9-01.indd MK SJ 10-1-2013/YS-13-11-2013 5 DR.

INTRODUCTION (BLOCK) During the 17th and 18th century, India maintained a favorable balance of trade and had a steady economy .Self-sufficient agriculture, flourishing trade and rich handicraft industries were hallmark of Indian economy. During the last half of the 18thcentury, India was conquered by the East India Company. Along with the consolidation of British political hegemony in India, there followed colonization of its economy and society. Colonization no longer functioned through the crude tools of plunder and tribute and mercantilism but perpetuated through the more disguised and complex mechanism of free trade and foreign capital investment. The characteristic of 19th century colonialism lay in the conversion of India into supplier of foodstuff and raw materials to the metropolis, a market for metropolitan manufacturer, and a field for investment of British capital. In the same way, Indian society in the 19th century was caught in a inhuman web created by religious superstition and social obscuration .Hinduism, has became a compound of magic, animation and superstition and monstrous rites like animal sacrifice and physical torture had replaced the worship of God.The most painful was position of women .The British conquest and dissemination colonial culture and ideology led to introspection about the strength and weakness of indigenous culture and civilization. The paper discusses the Socio –Cultural and Economic history of modern India. Unit –I, discusses attitude and understandings of Orientalist, Utilitarian and Evangelicals towards Indian Society .It further delineates the part played by Christian Missionaries in India.The growth of press and education analyzed in the last section.
