  • 'The State in Disguise of a Merchant': Extractive Administration in British
    ‘The State in Disguise of a Merchant’: Extractive Administration in British India, 1784-1834 Nicholas Hoover Wilson Department of Sociology The University of California, Berkeley November 25th, 2007 [email protected] An argument in state formation theory—particularly the development of the state's fiscal infrastructure—holds that the form of a state's administration is shaped by rulers' attempts to maximize resource extraction as constrained by local social structure. This view, however, does not adequately account for the variation in administration in British colonial India ca. 1784-1834. The British developed at least two systems for extracting land revenue. To account for this variation, I offer an approach derived from pragmatist theories of action which emphasizes contingent administrative development and fluid standards adjudicating between competing models of rule. Further, I suggest administrative variation was at least partially formed by struggles between administrations over visions of the imperial bond with Indian subjects and that this struggle had a fractal structure. …the India Company became to be what it is, a great Empire carrying on subordinately (under the public authority), a great commerce. It became that thing which was supposed by the Roman Law so unsuitable, the same power was a Trader, the same power was a Lord…In fact, [the Company] is a State in Disguise of a Merchant, a great public office in disguise of a Countinghouse…--Edmund Burke, 1788 Introduction Why do the organizational forms of state extractive

We analyze the colonial institutions set up by the British to collect land revenue in India, and show that differences in historical property rights institutions lead to sustained differences in economic outcomes. Areas in which proprietary rights in land were historically given to landlords have significantly lower agricultural investments, agricultural productivity and investments in public goods in the post-Independence period than areas in which these rights were given to the cul- tivators.

  • A Study of Rayalaseema Temples
    www.ijcrt.org © 2019 IJCRT | Volume 7, Issue 3 July 2019 | ISSN: 2320-2882 A Study of RayalaSeema Temples Dr Anand.B Asst Professor of History Govt First Grade College – Sunkalbidari Abstract:- Rayalaseema is a geographic region in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India. It includes the southern districts of Chittoor, Kadapa and Kurnool Anantapur, with an area of 67,526 km2, Rayalaseema is larger than Himachal Pradesh Kerala, Punjab, and nine other states in India. It has a population of 15,184,908, which is 30.03% of the state population. Rayalaseema borders the state of Tamil Nadu to the south, Karnataka to the west. Introduction: The region contributes 52 assembly segments to Andhra pradesh state legislature and 8 parliamentary constituencies to Indian parliament. These Telugu-speaking districts were part of the Madras Presidency until 1953, when Telugu-speaking districts of the Presidency were carved out to form Andhra State. From 1953 to 1956, the region was part of Andhra State. In 1956, the Telangana region was merged with Andhra State to form Andhra Pradesh State. Earlier, Bellary district was part of Rayalaseema. With the formation of states based on languages, Bellary was joined to Karnataka. The city of Bellary, which has large numbers of both Kannada and Telugu speakers, was included in Mysore after protracted debate and controversy. Rayalaseema was ruled by Sri Krishna Devaraya. Rayalaseema was the original home of the Eastern Chalukyas, which gradually extended their sway over Karnataka under pressure from the Chola kings.
