No work has so far been done on the history of Local Self-Govt in British Orissa. So this book claims to be a pioneer and outstanding attempt to throw a flood of light upon the self-governing institutions of Orissa. It not only highlight the divergent steps that the Govt of British India had taken to transplant and enlarge the scope of Local Self-Govt in the vast panorama of Indian administration, but in depicts vividly the minutest details of the origin, organisation, staffing, resources and developmental works of the self-governing institutions in Orissa. Against the diversity of social dogmas, educational backwardness and idiosyncrasies of the Indian people, the self-governing institutions of British origin and taste could push through and establish its identity in the Indian soil. The author has explored some of the hidden treasures of Orissan history which has hitherto been neglected or ignored. A study of the past institutions helps one to rebuild them in the newer perspectives. This book will certainly cater to the various needs of the anxious readers and scholars of Orissa and India as well. Contents Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Foundations of Local-Self-Government in British Orissa; Chapter 3: Local Finance; Chapter 4: Local Finance; Chapter 5: Personnel; Chapter 6: Conclusion.
In this informative new book, Ravi Kalia continues his examination of the planning of Indian cities begun with his earlier study of Chandigarh. Here, Kalia makes systematic inquiries into the political circumstances that brought about modern Bhubaneswar, the capital of the state of Orissa, to reveal the historical and social circumstances that shaped the city. In this account, Kalia brilliantly shows the interplay of indigenous religious forces, regional loyalty, and Western secular ideas in the context of twentieth-century international architecture and planning movements. This book will prove invaluable to historians, architects, planners, sociologists, and scholars interested in India, as well as those interested in urban planning in developing countries.
Contents: Introduction, Agricultural Labour: A Historical Overview, Socio- Economic Problems of Contractual Agricultural Labourers, Concluding Observations and Policy Implications of the Study.
This book is a detailed analysis of the food scarcity and epidemics among the womenfolk and other vulnerable sections of society in colonial Orissa. Its major significance lies in the fact that the food crisis, mass exodus and adverse sex ratio continue to raise questions in the contemporary world. Studies of such experiences help in re-designing strategies to meet the challenges arising from natural disasters, wars, pandemics, besides poverty and uncertain production outcomes. The study of Orissa Famine of 1866 explodes the myth upheld by the colonial administrators that women died at a lower rate than men in famines, because they could easily adapt to food scarcity and were supposedly less prone to infectious diseases. Evidence based on historical, sociological and biological factors showed that increasing male migration, much of it, leading to high mortality, explains the change in sex ratio during the colonial period. This work also shows that many of today’s consumption preferences, linguistic usages and cultural habits of people, carry traces of cataclysmic experiences. This book also highlights the fact that most famines are the result of policy failures and, are often rooted in structural inequalities with serious consequences for women, lower castes and the poor alike.
