Thomas Munro was among the most important of British thinker-administrators who shaped imperial rule in India. He was the creator, in the early nineteenth century, of the revenue and administrative system of two vast territories that were controlled by colonial authority from Madras andBombay, and his life stands even today as a symbol of the more thoughtful and humane aspects of foreign rule over India. This scholarly biography draws for the first time upon the full range, hitherto unavailable, of the Munro papers to present a revealing insight into the intellectual basis ofearly colonialism, and the influence of Thomas Munro in the shaping of British policy.
This book offers a bird’s eye view of the economic and environmental history of the Indian peninsula during colonial era. It analyses the nature of colonial land revenue policy, commercialisation of forest resources, consequences of coffee plantations, intrusion into tribal private forests and tribal-controlled geographical regions, and disintegration of their socio-cultural, political, administrative and judicial systems during the British Raj. It explores the economic history of the region through regional and ‘non-market’ economies and addresses the issues concerning local communities. Comprehensive, systematic and rich in archival material, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers in history, especially those concerned with economic and environmental history.
