Some horses that were “lite shod” could achieve such a gait with extensive training; however, as the “big lick” caught judges’ fancy, trainers started using other practices to enhance movement. Weighted shoes, stacked pads, and weighted chains began to appear, and the methods quickly became more aggressive—heavier weights and chains, objects (e.g., tacks) placed against the sole of the hoof to induce pain, and the application of caustic substances on the pastern or coronary band to induce pain when those areas were rubbed with chain or roller bracelets. These aggressive practices are called “soring” and the result is a horse that snatches its forelimbs off the ground to alleviate pain, and brings its hind limbs under itself as far as possible to reduce weight on the forelimbs. HOW IT'S DONE Chemical agents (e.g., kerosene, diesel or croton oil, hand cleaners, WD 40, oil of mustard, cinnamon oil, other caustic substances) are applied to the pastern and coronary band region. Then bracelet-like chains or rollers (“action devices”) are attached around the front of the pastern to rub against the skin and exacerbate the pain caused by the caustic agents.

Narratives of Rights: Codifying People and Land in Early Nineteenth-Century Nilgiris1 GUNNEL CEDERLÖF Dept of History and Dept of Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology Trädgårdsgatan 18 753 09 Uppsala, Sweden Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This article has two aims. Firstly, it analyses how multi-faceted narratives of south Indian people as communities and their rights in land and resources were established in early European reports from the Nilgiris. These narratives were gradually accommodated in increasingly racial interpretations of Indian society from the 1860s onwards. These became established in the state-produced historiographies at the turn of the century, and have even been repeated by social scientists up to the present day. Secondly, it focuses upon how ethnologically- derived categories influenced the codification of people in the Nilgiris, and how this process interacted with the legal codification of peoples’ access to land and natural resources. KEY WORDS India, colonialism – India, forest, anthropology – history, legal rights – nine- teenth century – India, indigenous people – history When officers of the British East India Company first entered the Nilgiri hills to establish settlements in the Western Ghats, they found themselves in the midst of disputes over rights in forest lands.
