CHAPTER 3 HISTORY RULING THE COUNTRYSIDE PAGE NO. 28
The need to improve agriculture If the economy was in ruins, could the Company be certain of its revenue income? Most Company officials began to feel that investment in land had to be encouraged and agriculture had to be improved. How was this to be done? After two decades of debate on the question, the Company finally introduced the Permanent Settlement in 1793. By the terms of the settlement, the rajas and taluqdars were recognised as zamindars. They were asked to collect rent from the peasants and pay revenue to the Company. The amount to be paid was fixed permanently, that is, it was not tobe increased ever in future. It was felt that this would ensure a regular flow of revenue into the Company’s coffers and at the same time encourage the zamindars to invest in improving the land. Since the revenue demand of the state would not be increased, the zamindar would benefit from increased production from the land.
CHAPTER 4 TRIBALS, DIKUS AND THE VISION OF A GOLDEN AGE PAGE NO. 46
Hazaribagh, in present-day Jharkhand, was an area where the Santhals reared cocoons. The traders dealing in silk sent in their agents who gave loans to the tribal people and collected the cocoons.The growers were paid Rs 3 to Rs 4 for a thousand cocoons. These were then exported to Burdwan or Gaya where they were sold at five times the price. The middlemen – so called because they arranged deals between the exporters and silk growers – made huge profits.The silk growers earned very little. Understandably, many tribal groups saw the market and the traders as their main enemies.
CHAPTER 7 CIVILISING THE “NATIVE” EDUCATING THE NATION PAGE NO. 84
Following Macaulay’s minute, the English Education Act of 1835 was introduced. The decision was to make English the medium of instruction for higher education, and to stop the promotion of Oriental institutions like the Calcutta Madrasa and Benaras Sanskrit College. These institutions were seen as “temples of darkness that were falling of themselves into decay”. English textbooks now began to be produced for schools.
CHAPTER 4
UNDERSTANDING LAWS PAGE NO. 50
We need to remember that our role as citizens
does not end with electing our representatives.
Rather, it is then that we begin to use newspapers
and the media to carefully chart the work that is
being done by our MPs and criticise their actions
when we feel it is required. Thus, what we should
bear in mind is that it is the extent, involvement
and enthusiasm of the people that helps
Parliament perform its representative functions
properly.
