BAYLY Vere Harmsworth Professor of Imperial and Naval History, University of Cambridge, and Fellow of St Catharine's College and JOHN F. RICHARDS Professor of History, Duke University Although the original Cambridge History of India, published between 1922. and 1937, did much to formulate a chronology for Indian history and de- scribe the administrative structures of government in India, it has inevitably been overtaken by the mass of new research published over the last fifty years. Designed to take full account of recent scholarship and changing concep- tions of South Asia's historical development, The New Cambridge History of India will be published as a series of short, self-contained volumes, each dealing with a separate theme and written by a single person. Within an overall four-part structure, thirty-one complementary volumes in uniform format will be published. As before, each will conclude with a substantial bib- liographical essay designed to lead non-specialists further into the literature. The four parts planned are as follows: I The Mughals and their contemporaries II Indian states and the transition to colonialism III The Indian Empire and the beginnings of modern society IV The evolution of contemporary South Asia A list of individual titles in preparation will be found at the end of the volume.

  • Battles for Bangalore: Reterritorialising the City Janaki Nair Centre for the Study of Culture and Society Bangalore, India
    Battles for Bangalore: Reterritorialising the City Janaki Nair Centre for the Study of Culture and Society Bangalore, India A divided city, cleaved by a swathe of parkland and administrative buildings that runs from north west to south east, was united in the single Bangalore City Corporation in 1949.1 No longer did the Bangalore Civil and Military station (referred to as the Cantonment, and the location since 1809 of British troops and their followers), have a separate administration from the old city area. And not just a geographical unity was forged, since the maps of linguistic, cultural and political traditions were redrawn. A previous move to unite the Cantonment, then under the control of the British Resident, with the rest of Princely Mysore was resisted by several cultural and economic groups that had long resided in the Station and enjoyed the perquisites of serving the colonial masters.2 A flurry of petitions protested the proposed "retrocession" of 1935 which would bring the Bangalore Cantonment under the Mysore administration; only the war delayed this move until July 1947.3 By 1949, such petitions were no deterrent to the plans of the new masters. But in the five decades since the formation of the Bangalore corporation, the city's east-west zonation continues to persist, and the uncomfortable question of "independence"4, or at least administrative freedom of the erstwhile cantonment has often been reiterated5. Most frequently, this has been in response to emerging cultural and political movements that seek to reterritorialise the city, refashioning its symbols, monuments or open spaces to evoke other memories, or histories that reflect the triumphs of the nation state, the hopes and aspirations of linguistic nationalisms or of social groups who have long lacked either economic or symbolic capital in the burgeoning city of Bangalore.

  • Production of Coffee in Mysore and Coorg in the Nineteenth Century1
    Article Indian Historical Review Local History of a Global 41(1) 67–86 © 2014 ICHR Commodity: Production of SAGE Publications Los Angeles, London, Coffee in Mysore and Coorg New Delhi, Singapore, Washington DC 1 DOI: 10.1177/0376983614521734 in the Nineteenth Century http://ihr.sagepub.com Bhaswati Bhattacharya Centre for Modern Indian Studies, Georg August University, Göttingen/International Institute of Social History, Amsterdam Abstract When was large scale production of coffee introduced in India, and what role did global capital play in the process? How did indigenous capital respond to the plantation sector? Taking a petition submitted by some European coffee planters of the Mysore Planters’ Association in December 1864 as a point of departure this article attempts at answering these questions by analysing the initial phase of the coffee industry in Mysore and Coorg in Karnataka. The petitioners claimed that the tax they paid on coffee was much higher than coffee planters elsewhere in India had to pay. The authorities concerned sought experts’ opinion on the petition, and came to the conclusion that the claims made in the petition were baseless. By comparing the role of the European and Indian enterprise in the coffee industry, the article contributes to the ongoing discourses on dual economy and the response of indigenous capital in the face of Western capital. Keywords Coffee production, India, coffee plantation, dual economy, Western capital, indigenous capital, mono-culture vs poly-culture On 3 December 1864, W. Lonsdale Esq., Secretary to the Mysore Planters’ Association wrote a letter to the Secretary to the Commissioner for the Government of the Territories of His Highness the Raja of Mysore requesting him to forward the 1 I would like to thank the anonymous referees of this journal, my colleagues of the Plants, People and Work project at the International Institute of Social History, Amsterdam and Jon Curry-Machado of the Commodities of the Empire project for their comments on earlier versions of this article.

Did the British check or did they contribute to caste oppression? What was the nature of the new state the British established? What was the impact of British colonialism on the broad masses? What was the political response of the masses of Karnataka to British domination? How and why did the people conduct armed struggle to fight the British? What was the political thrust of the peasant insurgencies that shook Karnataka during this period? Did Karnataka really show up prospects for a bourgeois democratic revolution? Basing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources this book makes an analytical narrative of all these and many more questions. Contrary to biased history writing, it makes a comprehensive and objective presentation of the people’s history of Karnataka, adopting the methodology of Historical Materialism.
