It deals with the North West Provinces of Agra and the region of Oudh (present day Uttar Pradesh) where the tenant question had a complicated and complex history. These regions witnessed a number of peasant upsurges during 1857-1931.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book gives a vivid description of rural life in the United Provinces. The author has discussed the changing status of the cultivator brought about by constant and judicious legislation to a position of some security.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe also deals with the miseries of the cultivator and observes with ‘regret that the general outlook of the life of an agriculturist has changed very little from?what?it?was?in?the?past?ages’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is divided into two parts with twenty-one chapters altogether. It describes the origin of the revenue system and traces its history from the earliest times to the British period; the revenue settlements in Agra and Oudh; assessment and the legal status of the tenantry; administrative machinery to safeguard tenures; indebtedness and taxation; methods of irrigation; village sanitation; medical relief; education and various aspects related to rural economy and village uplift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book also deals with village communities taking into account the daily life and habits of agriculturists; social customs and manners; re­creation and amusement in the countryside; peasant songs and poetry; and questions?related?to?village?autonomy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author has given substantial data such as budgeting in the peasant families, etc. – data which is much needed to explore the economic con­dition?of?the?people.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbbreviations IX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlossary 1-21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface 22-28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter I Ancient India 31-41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter II Muslim Period 42-73\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter III Early history of British Revenue Administration 74-90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter IV Historical account of the Settlement in the Provinces now known as Agra Province 91-106\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter V The Assessment in the Agra Provinces 107-115\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter VI Legal Position of the Tenantry in the Agra Province 116-115\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter VII Oudh 156-183\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter VIII Administrative Machinery to Safeguard Tenures 184-187\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter I Introductory 191-197\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter II Section A to H 198-26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter III Section A to C 237-287\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter IV Recreation, Amusements and Sports 288-297\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter V Education 298-307\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter VI VIllage Sanitation 308-315\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter VII Medical Relief 316-319\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter VIII Indebtedness 320-342\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter IX Taxation 343-359 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter X VIllage Autonomy or Association 360-367\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XI Rural Economy 368-384\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter XII VIllage Uplift 385-397\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix A 399-401\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix B 401\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix C 402-423\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography 424-437\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Manohar Books","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52652725862680,"sku":"9789390729821","price":57.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-history-and-status-of-landlords-and-tenants-in-the-united-provinces-india-hardback-9789390729821","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
