The Maratha scholars and historians had worked hard to construct the history of the land and people of Maharashtra. Among such scholars people like Kashinath Sane, Rajwade, Khare and Parasnis were well known luminaries in this field of history writing of Maratha. Kashinath Sane published a mass of original material like Bakhars, Sanads, letters and other state papers in his journal Kavyetihas Samgraha for more eleven years during the nineteenth century.

Empire's Garden: Assam and the Making of India
A book in the series Radical Perspectives a radical history review book series Series editors: Daniel J. Walkowitz, New York University Barbara Weinstein, New York University History, as radical historians have long observed, cannot be severed from authorial subjectivity, indeed from politics. Political concerns animate the questions we ask, the subjects on which we write. For over thirty years the Radical History Review has led in nurturing and advancing politically engaged historical research. Radical Perspec- tives seeks to further the journal’s mission: any author wishing to be in the series makes a self-conscious decision to associate her or his work with a radical perspective. To be sure, many of us are currently struggling with the issue of what it means to be a radical historian in the early twenty-first century, and this series is intended to provide some signposts for what we would judge to be radical history. It will o√er innovative ways of telling stories from multiple perspectives; comparative, transnational, and global histories that transcend con- ventional boundaries of region and nation; works that elaborate on the implications of the postcolonial move to ‘‘provincialize Eu- rope’’; studies of the public in and of the past, including those that consider the commodification of the past; histories that explore the intersection of identities such as gender, race, class and sexuality with an eye to their political implications and complications. Above all, this book series seeks to create an important intellectual space and discursive community to explore the very issue of what con- stitutes radical history. Within this context, some of the books pub- lished in the series may privilege alternative and oppositional politi- cal cultures, but all will be concerned with the way power is con- stituted, contested, used, and abused. -
Mohur, Rupee, Dam: Indian Trimetallism in This Essay, We Examine
Mohur, rupee, dam: Indian trimetallism ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ In this essay, we examine the ‘trimetallic’ initiative operated in India during the early Mughal period. In his ‘The Currency of India’ from 1886, William Douglas informs us that the ‘ancient standard’ (whatever is meant by this nomenclature) of the ‘Hindoos’ was gold, with copper for small coinage. The ‘Mohammedan Emperors,’ apparently, were the first to introduce silver coinage in volume into northern India. Douglas’ commentary has a greater element of (perhaps unintended) deception than truth even though overall it seems quite innocuous. This is to do with the ‘legal aspect’ of money implied in his commentary but this will not be developed here. It would be fairer to describe the monetary arrangement by the Mughals as free ‘trimetallic’ – meaning that gold, silver and copper coins circulated together without any form of relationship being somehow imposed between them by ‘state’ authorities. A relationship being ‘imposed’ between them pre-supposes that such an imposition is possible; which it isn’t and the most (or least) cursory of investigations confirms this †. Akbar the Great (1542 – 1605) formalised the coinage circulating at the time into the 169 troy grain gold ‘mohur,’ 178 troy grain silver ‘rupee’ and the 323 grain copper ‘dam’ or ‘paisa.’ The relative ratio of exchange between these coins at a particular ‘place’ was left entirely to the market(s) at the ‘place’ to establish. Silver rupees minted in the current or previous year were known as ‘sikka’ rupees and had a premium over older, potentially worn, coins. However, this premium was not determined by the market but controlled by imperial money-dealers or ‘sarrafs.’ Taxes and dues could usually only be paid in ‘sikka’ rupees; and were the imperial treasury running low, this premium could be increased to induce holders of old coins to have them re-minted thus creating revenue. -

Postcolonising Danish Foreign Policy Activism in the Global South: Cases of Ghana, India and the Us Virgin
Nikita Pliusnin POSTCOLONISING DANISH FOREIGN POLICY ACTIVISM IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH: CASES OF GHANA, INDIA AND THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS Faculty of Management and Business Master‟s Thesis April 2021 ABSTRACT Nikita Pliusnin: Postcolonising Danish Foreign Policy Activism in the Global South: Cases of Ghana, India and the US Virgin Islands Master‟s Thesis Tampere University Master‟s Programme in Leadership for Change, European and Global Politics, CBIR April 2021 There is a growing corpus of academic literature, which is aimed to analyse Danish activism as a new trend of the kingdom‟s foreign policy. Different approaches, both positivist and post-positivist ones, study specific features of activism, as well the reasons of why this kind of foreign policy has emerged in post- Cold War Denmark. Nevertheless, little has been said on the role of Danish colonial past in the formation of strategies and political courses towards other states and regions. The heterogeneous character of Danish colonialism has also been overlooked by scholars: while Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands are thoroughly examined in Danish postcolonial studies, so-called „tropical colonies‟ (the Danish West Indies, the Danish Gold Coast and Danish India) are almost „forgotten‟. The aim of the thesis is to investigate how the Danish colonial past (or rather the interpretations of the past by the Danish authorities) in the Global South influences modern Danish foreign policy in Ghana, India and US Virgin Islands (the USVI) (on the present-day territories of which Danish colonies were once situated). An authored theoretical and methodological framework of the research is a compilation of discourse theory by Laclau and Mouffe (1985) and several approaches within postcolonialism, including Orientalism by Said (1978) and hybridity theory by Bhabha (1994). -
Hardeen, Devi, the Brown Atlantic: Re-Thinking Post-Slavery
Black Atlantic Resource Debate http://blackatlanticresource.wordpress.com/ Devi Hardeen PhD Candidate, French Cultures, Languages, and Area Studies The Brown Atlantic: Re-thinking Post-Slavery No longer is Atlantic history available in any color [sic], so long as it is white.1 The void left by the banning of the slave-trade [sic] was to some extent being filled by transports of ‘indentured’ labour, mainly from India and China, whose conditions were scarcely better.2 How is the reproduction of labour power ensured? It is ensured by giving labour power the material means with which to reproduce itself: by wages.3 Following a recent workshop, ‘The French Atlantic: A “Tricoloured” Ocean’, held at the International Slavery Museum (ISM), Liverpool, I was kindly invited to contribute to this ‘Black Atlantic Resource Debate’.4 One of the rationales of the inter-institutional project at the ISM was to develop greater recognition of Liverpool’s post-Slavery trading past. It is little known that four years after Emancipation, the first ships for South Asian Atlantic Indenture would embark from the city’s ports. The possibility of a site to reflect Liverpool’s continuing post-Slavery role was raised at the workshop. It was discussed that such a site would reflect the historical nexus between the metropole and the country of origin, India, in the legacies of Slavery. In Benjamin Disraeli’s ‘jewel in the crown’, a memorial plaque in Kolkata was inaugurated in January 2011 to commemorate Indenture. The site of museums as an interface between research, academia, and the public that can inform of the events and processes of Atlantic Slavery and its aftermath, led to positive discussions. -
