Cambridge University Press, 2001. First edition. Hardcover. New. In a challenge to the widespread belief that poverty and poor living standards have been characteristic of India for centuries, Prasannan Parthasarathi demonstrates that, until the late eighteenth century, labouring groups in South India were in a powerful position, receiving incomes well above subsistence. It was with the rise of colonial rule, the author maintains, that the decline in their economic fortunes was initiated. This is a powerful revisionist statement on the role of Britain in India which will interest students of the region, and economic and colonial historians. Contents Introduction 1. Weavers and merchants, 1720–60 2. Agriculture and cotton textiles 3. Weaver distress, 1765–1800 4. Weaver protest 5. Laborers, kings and colonialism. Printed Pages: 178.
