Tenancy Legislation in Malabar, 1880-1970
In agrarian societies land is the most important means of wealth and source of power and prestige. Rights in land are often hereditary with power and prestige. Therefore, changes in the tenurial system and the pattern of ownership will have far reaching effects on the social order. The Indian peasantry appeared as a formidable force against foreign domination after the imposition of British authority. Investigates the impact of British rule in the agrarian relations of Malabar district, in the Madras presidency which came under the direct rule of the British in 1792 and the consequent complexities in landlord tenant relations. The various tenancy legislations and later land reforms in the State of Kerala are also studied. The relations of the Peasant movement with the nationalist movement and the role of the Malabar peasantry in the anti-imperialist, anti-landlord struggles are discussed at length.

British colonial administrations tried long and hard to inhibit the dialectical discord between their colonial hierarchism and local forms of nationalism with the promp...
Tribes Education and Gender Question
Despite 58 years experimentation with the policy of protective discrimination and planned development a large majority of the 80.2 million tribal people languish in abject poverty, landlessness, powerlessness, illiteracy and malnutrition. Being caught in the hangover of the strong patriarchic tradition the women of nearly 700 marginalized tribal communities find themselves highly exploited, subjugated and voiceless. The present book, first of its kind on tribes living in northern districts of West Bengal (popularly known as North Bengal), explores the areas of subjugation of tribal life and particularly that of the tribal women and analytically presents the case of tribal women in a tea gard...
Agrarian Relations in Late Medieval Malabar
To understand how colonialism redraws the equations of the colonized societies, a thorough analysis of the latter in the immediate preceeded period is required.
