Book Description
Excerpt from History of Behar Indigo Factories: Reminiscences of Behar; Tirhoot and Its Inhabitants of the Past; History of Behar Light Horse Volunteers In 1782 Mr. Grand was sent to Tirhoot as Collector. Of Revenue, etc., etc., where he built three indigo factories unfortunately he does not give their names. In these fac tories, he writes, he is conducting the manufacture of indigo after the manner of Europeans and he was evidently doing well and making money. In 1787 we find Lord Cornwallis (who arrived in Calcutta in sent for Mr. Grand to Calcutta and according to that gentleman praised him for his work and ability. But to Mr. Grand's surprise on the 29th August 1787, Mr. Bathurst was appointed Collector of Tirhoot and Mr. Grand ordered to go as Judge of Patna in 1788. He was shortly afterwards ordered to give up or dispose of his indigo fac tories in Tirhoot. He remonstrated against this and finally proving contumacious and charges as to his conduct as a Judge at Patna having been laid he was removed from the service.

Indigo Plantations and Science in Colonial India
Author: Prakash KumarPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139576968
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
Prakash Kumar documents the history of agricultural indigo, exploring the effects of nineteenth-century globalisation on this colonial industry. Charting the indigo culture from the early modern period to the twentieth century, Kumar discusses how knowledge of indigo culture thrived among peasant traditions on the Indian subcontinent in the early modern period and was then developed by Caribbean planters and French naturalists who codified this knowledge into widely disseminated texts. European planters who settled in Bengal with the establishment of British rule in the late eighteenth century drew on this information. From the nineteenth century, indigo culture became more modern, science-based and expert driven, and with the advent of a cheaper, purer synthetic indigo in 1897, indigo science crossed paths with the colonial state's effort to develop a science for agricultural development. Only at the end of the First World War, when the industrial use of synthetic indigo for textile dyeing and printing became almost universal, did the indigo industry's optimism fade away.
Bazaar India
Author: Anand A. YangPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520919969
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
The role of markets in linking local communities to larger networks of commerce, culture, and political power is the central element in Anand A. Yang's provocative and original study. Yang uses bazaars in the northeast Indian state of Bihar during the colonial period as the site of his investigation. The bazaar provides a distinctive locale for posing fundamental questions regarding indigenous societies under colonialism and for highlighting less familiar aspects of colonial India. At one level, Yang reconstructs Bihar's marketing system, from its central place in the city of Patna down to the lowest rung of the periodic markets. But he also concentrates on the dynamics of exchanges and negotiations between different groups and on what can be learned through the "voices" of people in the bazaar: landholders, peasants, traders, and merchants. Along the way, Yang uncovers a wealth of details on the functioning of rural trade, markets, fairs, and pilgrimages in Bihar. A key contribution of Bazaar India is its many-stranded narrative history of some of South Asia's primary actors over the past two centuries. But Yang's approach is not that of a detached observer; rather, his own voice is engaged with the voices of the past and with present-day historians. By focusing on the world beyond the mud walls of the village, he widens the imaginative geography of South Asian history. Readers with an interest in markets, social history, culture, colonialism, British India, and historiographic methods will welcome his book.
Colonising Plants in Bihar (1760-1950)
Author: Kathinka Sinha KerkhoffPublisher: Partridge Publishing
ISBN: 1482839105
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 489
Book Description
This unique study contributes to three important research fields: the history of commodities, the his-tory of the colonial developmental state, and the agrarian history of South Asia. First, it demonstrates the dynamism of cash-crop production systems and how these systems influenced each other. Second, it explores how colonial state policy came to stimulate research-based agronomic interventions, often with unintended consequences. And finally, it shows how cash cropping entangled South Asians and Europeans in new forms of struggle and cooperation. This meticulous and illuminating study deserves a wide readership.

The Political Economy of Indigo in India, 1580-1930
Author: Ghulam A. NadriPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004311556
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
In The Political Economy of Indigo in India, 1580-1930: A Global Perspective Ghulam A. Nadri explores the dynamics of the indigo industry and trade from a long-term perspective and examines the local and global forces that affected the potentialities of production in India and elsewhere and caused periods of boom and slump in the industry. Using the commodity chains conceptual framework he examines the stages in the trajectory of indigo from production to consumption. Nadri shows convincingly that the growth or decline in indigo production and trade in India was a part of the global processes of production, trade, and consumption and that indigo as a global commodity was embedded in the politics of empire and colonial expansion.
