PREFACE The Census Reports in olden times were printed one for the whole Province of Raj. putana and another for Ajmer-Merwara. Some of the ~Frincipal ~tates now merged in Rajasthan published their own reports. This time the State Census Reports have been published in the following volumf"s: .- 1.

Economic TableR. They contain statistics down to the district level, The idea of preparing the District Census Handboo'{: separately for each district was put forward by Shri R. A. U-opalaswami. 1. C\ S., Registrar General, India, and ex-officio Census ('ommissioner of India. as part of a plan intended to secure an effective method of preserving the Cf'IlS11R records prepart:>d for areas below the district level. He proposed that all the district census tables and census abstracts prepared during tho process of sorting and compilation should be bound together in ::t single manuscript volume, called the District Census Handbook. and suggested to the State Governments that the Handbook (with or without the addition of other useful informat.ion relating to the district) should be printed and pub­ lished at their own cost in the Harne manner 'as t,he-, villag@ .J:5ta;tiKti9s in the past. In aocept­ ing. this sl1~gestion, the Governnwnt of I-taja:s-th-aR -'\':leoid.ed, t.o' print, and publish the more important portion of statistical data relating to ·the- district -and < to preserve the reRt of the records in H, manuscript volume for any futurE" use.-~to· "\vhich the:v may be put.

They contained for each village the populatbn figures by religion and also t orne other useful information. 'They were bound in a volume one for each :-itate.

  • Census Atlas, Part IX-B, Vol-XIV, Rajasthan
    PRG. 173 B (N) (Ordy.) 1,000 CENSUS OF INDIA 1961 VOLUME XIV RAJASTHAN PART IX-B CENSUS ATLAS C. S. GUPTA OF THE INDIAN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE Superintendent of Census Op~rations, RajalJhan 1969 FOREWORD FEW PEOPLE REALIZE, much less appreciate, that apart from the Survey of India and the Geological Survey, the Census of India had' been perhaps the largest single producer of maps of the Indian subcontinent. Intimate collaboration between geographer and demographer began quite early in the modern era, almost two centuries before the first experiments in a permanent decennial Census were made in the 1850's. For example, the population estimates of Fort St. George, Madras, made in 1639 and 1648, and of Masulipatnam and Bombay by Dr. John Fryer, around 1672-73 were supported by cartographic documents of no mean order, Tbe first detailed modern maps, the results of Major James Rennell's stupendous Survey of 1767-74, were published in 1778-1780 and Henry Taylor Colebrooke, almost our first systematic demographer, was quick to make good use of them by making estimates of population in the East India Company's Possessions in the 1780's. Upjohn's map of Calcutta City, drawn in 1792.93, reprinted in the Census Report of Calcutta for 195 I, gives an idea of the standards of cartographic excellence reached at that period. In the first decade of the nineteenth century, Francis Buchanan Hamilton improved upon Colebrooke's method in which he was undoubtedly helped by the improved maps prepared for the areas he surve ed. It is possible that the Great Revenue Survey, begun in the middle of the last century, offered the best guarantee of the success of decennial population censuses proposed shortly before the Mutiny of 1857.

Thesis advisor Author James A. Robinson Roberto Stefan Foa Ancient Polities, Modern States Abstract Political science is concerned with the study of polities. However, remarkably few scholars are familiar with the polities of the premodern era, such as Vijayanagara, Siam, Abyssinia, the Kingdoms of Kongo or Mutapa, or the Mysore or Maratha empires. This dissertation examines the legacies of precolonial polities in India, during the period from 1707 to 1857. I argue that, contrary to the widespread perception that the Indian subcon- tinent was a pre-state society, the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were a time of rapid defensive modernization across the subcontinent, driven by the requirements of gunpowder weaponry and interstate warfare among South Asian regimes and against European colonial powers.
