Usual disclaimers apply. Preface Land and Labour have been at the core of a ‘civilised’ human existence since the very beginning. While they have provided body to various other kinds of labour (other than working on land), they have been both an instrument as well as foundation of power systems outside the body of labour itself, be it in the form of a primitive tribal community or a feudal society or a modern state. In fact, an economic formation/system and its laws of motion are explained not only by the conditions of labour, but also by an interaction of these with the other elements of the property system, amongst which the essentials of the property system in land are found to be of paramount importance. Since the inception of political economy/economic thought, there has been a near consensus on the centrality of land in facilitating the well-being through economic transformation. In particular, at the current juncture, the importance of access to land for the rural masses in ensuring a decent livelihood in most developing countries/societies is generally acknowledged throughout the academia. The first chapter of this report titled ‘Current Agrarian Situation in Bihar’ tries to bring forth this relationship between the ‘access to land’ and ‘well-being of masses’ in Bihar. -

District Profile Bhojpur Introduction
DISTRICT PROFILE BHOJPUR INTRODUCTION Bhojpur district is one of the thirty-eight districts of the state of Bihar situated in western Bihar. Bhojpur comprises of four sub-divisions of Buxar, Ara Sadar, Jagdishpur and Piro. Bhojpur came into existence in 1992. Earlier this district was part of old Sahabad district. Bhojpur district retains close linkage with its parent district Shahabad. With the elevation of Buxar sub-division as a separate district in 1992, the present day Bhojpur district consisting of three sub-divisions, came into existence. Bhojpur district is bounded by the districts of Chapra, Rohtas, Patna, Jahanabad Arwal, Buxar and district Ballia of Uttar Pradesh. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND It is said that the name Ara is derived from the Sanskrit word 'ARANYA', which means forest and Aranya Devi, the forest goddess was worshipped as the deity goddess. According to Hindu mythology, sage Vishwamitra –the Guru of Lord Rama, had his hermitage in the ancient city of Arrah . The famous Chinese pilgrim traveller HIEUN-TSANG and Greek records also refer to the region. In 1764, the historic battle of Buxar fought in Ara between the East India Company and the alliance forces of Mir Kasim, the Nawab of Bengal, Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II and Shuja-ud-daulla , the Nawab of Avadh, saw the fall of the Mughal empire in India and the beginning of British colonization of India. During India’s First War of Independence in 1857, popularly known as Sepoy Mutiny, when the Indian army of "British Fauz" declared their independence at Danapur and proceeded to Jagdishpur presently a sub-division of Bhojpur district, the eighty years old zamindar of Jagdishpur, Babu Kunwar Singh , immediately took command of that revolutionary army and captured the English Treasury at Ara, released the prisoners from Ara Jail and besieged the English officers stationed in Ara.
