  • India and the Great Divergence: Assessing the Efficiency of Grain Markets in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century India  ROMAN STUDER
    India and the Great Divergence: Assessing the Efficiency of Grain Markets in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century India ROMAN STUDER By analyzing a newly compiled data base of grain prices, this article finds that prior to the nineteenth century the grain trade in India was essentially local, while more distant markets remained fragmented. It was only in the second half of the nineteenth century that these premodern structures were transformed, and a national grain market had emerged. In the Great Divergence debate, the Cali- fornia School’s claim that early modern “Asia” reached a similar stage of eco- nomic development as early modern Europe is therefore rejected for India. n recent years, the Great Divergence has become one of the most Icontentious issues in economic history. The debate centers on when and why Western Europe pulled ahead of the rest of the world economi- cally; that is, when and why the Great Divergence in economic per- formance happened. Until recently, the widely accepted view has been that Europe’s path of economic development was already unique in early modern times. It had better institutions; a scientific culture, which led to technological progress; superior commercial organization; and more favorable social structures and demographic patterns. As a result, Europe’s economic progress was outstripping that of the rest of the world so that it had become the clear economic leader well before the Industrial Revolution brought about far-reaching structural changes and made Europe’s supremacy even more pronounced.1 The Journal of Economic History, Vol. 68, No. 2 (June 2008). © The Economic History Association.

  • CRAFT and TRADE in the 18Th CENTURY RAJASTHAN
    CRAFT AND TRADE IN THE 18th CENTURY RAJASTHAN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Boctor of ^l)ilos;opl)p IN )/er HISTORY ! SO I A. // XATHAR HUSSAIN -- .A Under the Supervision of Prof. B. L. Bhadani Chairman & Coordinator CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2008 ^Ci>Musu m ABSTRACT The study on the 18* century has been attracting the attention of the historians such as Richard Bamett, C.A. Bayly, Muzaffar Alam, Andre Wink, Chetan Singh and others. Two subsequent works on the eastern Rajasthan by S.P. Gupta and Dilbagh Singh and on the northern Rajasthan by G.S.L. Devra have added new dimensions to the whole issue of existing debate on the 18' century, a period of transition in the history of India. Therefore, the importance of the studies on Rajasthan assumes significance which contains a treasure house of archival records, hitherto largely unexplored. My work is consisted of eight chapters with an introduction and conclusion. The first chapter deals with the study of geographical and historical profile of the Rajasthan. The geographical factor such as types of soils, hills, river and vegetation always nourishes the economy of the region. The physical location of Rajasthan had influenced its history to a greater extent. The region bears the physical diversity and we can divide it into two parts namely in the fertile south eastern zone and the thar arid zone. It was bounded by the Mughal subas (provinces) like Multan, Sindh, Delhi, Agra, Gujarat and Malwa.

  • STATE and RURAL URBAN TRADE in EASTERN RAJASTHAN Saguna Puri Singh
    Man In India, 92 (2) : 281-293 © Serials Publications STATE AND RURAL URBAN TRADE IN EASTERN RAJASTHAN Saguna Puri Singh A significant feature of late pre-Colonial rural commerce in North India that first received an elaborate treatment in the seminal work or B. R. Grover1 was the extent and the nature of state intervention and control over the market - The general pattern of local rural trade that emerges from the studies, on the same, is an essentially vertical thrust of commodities moving out of the locality through a hierarchy of market linked by chains of intermediaries and the flow of commodities and credit.2 It has been suggested in3 Rajasthan records of late 17th and 18th Century that crop sharing persisted as the dominant mode of revenue assessment for food grains, in particular, the peasant was obliged to remit the revenue in cash after commutation of the state’s share of grain at current local prices. Thus, whether the revenue was assessed in cash or by the division of the grain heap, its ultimate payment as cash necessitated the marketing of agricultural produce by the peasant. The role of the Mughal State in commerce is thus seen to be limited to taxing traders through various sales and transit tolls or monopolizing the sale of certain commodities4. Instances of the direct intervention of the state in the regulation of grain trade have been noted in situation of scarcity and famine. Such intervention was by its nature sporadic - limited to times of crisis in food grain availability and keeping with popular expectations of a paternalistic ruler5.

  • Regimes of Dispossession: Special Economic Zones and the Political Economy of Land in India
    Regimes of Dispossession: Special Economic Zones and the Political Economy of Land in India By Michael James Levien A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Michael Burawoy, Chair Professor Raka Ray Professor Peter Evans Professor Michael Watts Spring 2013 Abstract Regimes of Dispossession: Special Economic Zones and the Political Economy of Land in India by Michael James Levien Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael Burawoy, Chair The aim of the present work is to advance a theoretical framework for the comparative study of dispossession by explaining how the political economy of land dispossession has transformed from state-led developmentalism to neoliberalism in India. The dissertation compares the archetypical forms of dispossession in each period and argues that they constitute different regimes of dispossession. A regime of dispossession is an institutionalized way of expropriating landed assets from their current owners or users. Each regime of dispossession is distinguished by: 1) a set of purposes for which a state is willing to dispossess land and 2) a way of producing compliance to that dispossession. Under different regimes, dispossession facilitates different kinds of accumulation with variable developmental consequences. These consequences crucially effect the long-term political stability of a regime of dispossession. Between independence in 1947 and economic liberalization in the early 1990s, India operated under a developmentalist regime of dispossession. Under this regime, the Indian state dispossessed land for state-led industrial and infrastructural projects, ensuring compliance through coercion and powerful ideological appeals to national development.

  • An Overview of Innovative Heritage Deliverables Based on Remote Sensing Techniques
    remote sensing Article An Overview of Innovative Heritage Deliverables Based on Remote Sensing Techniques Maarten Bassier * , Stan Vincke , Roberto de Lima Hernandez and Maarten Vergauwen Department of Civil Engineering, TC Construction—Geomatics, 3000 Leuven, KU Leuven, Belgium; [email protected] (S.V.); [email protected] (R.d.L.H.); [email protected] (M.V.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 31 August 2018; Accepted: 7 October 2018; Published: 10 October 2018 Abstract: The documentation and information representation of heritage sites is rapidly evolving. With the advancements in remote sensing technology, increasingly more heritage projects look to integrate innovative sensor data into their workflows. Along with it, more complex analyses have become available which require highly detailed inputs. However, there is a gap in the current body of knowledge of how to transfer the outputs from innovative data acquisition workflows to a set of useful deliverables that can be used for analysis. In addition, current procedures are often restricted by proprietary software or require field specific knowledge. As a result, more data are being generated in heritage projects but the tools to process them are lacking. In this work, we focus on methods that convert the raw information from the data acquisition to a set of realistic data representations of heritage objects. The goal is to present the industry with a series of practical solutions that integrate innovative technologies but still closely relate to the current heritage documentation workflows. An extensive literature study was performed discussing the different methods along with their advantages and opportunities. In the practical study, four deliverables were defined: the use of orthomosaics, web-based viewers, watertight mesh geometry and content for serious games.

  • Prices and Wages in India (1200-1800): Source Material, Historiography and New Directions
    Najaf Haider Towards a Global History of Prices and Wages, 19-21 Aug. 2004 http://www.iisg.nl/hpw/conference.html Towards a Global History of Prices and Wages Utrecht: August 19-21 2004 Prices and Wages in India (1200-1800): Source Material, Historiography and New Directions (Preliminary Draft. Only for Circulation) Najaf Haider Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi Source Material on Indian Prices and Wages Quantitative data on prices, wages and income are extremely limited and fragmentary for the whole of medieval India (1200-1800 AD). It is only from the middle of the nineteenth century (1861 AD) that one begins to get unbroken statistical series on prices and wages. This explains the short treatment the above themes have received in current historiography. However, there is sufficient evidence - some of it fresh - to commence the compilation of a database for prices and wages as well as to comment on their long- term movements. The first type of sources in which information on prices and wages can be found are Persian chronicles, official documents and administrative manuals. The chronicles 2 supply incidental references while describing an event or the achievements of a ruler. Most official documents are orders and instructions which carry occasional or specific references to prices and wages. The most notable of these are price reports sent by government officials from the market to the headquarters of an administrative unit. Such reports are a very rich source of information but have survived for only one region, the Deccan, or that part of peninsular India which is situated between the rivers Narmada and Krishna.
