This volume looks at the concept of the ‘local’ in Indian history. Through a case study of Bengal, it studies how worldwide currents—be it colonial governance, pedagogic practices or intellectual rhythms—simultaneously inform and interact with particular local idioms to produce variegated histories of a region. It examines the processes through which the idea of the ‘local’ gets constituted in different spatial entities such as the frontier province of the Jangal Mahal, the Sundarbans, the dry terrain of Birbhum-Bankura-Purulia and the urban spaces of Calcutta and other small towns. The volume further discusses the various administrative as well as amateur representations of these settings to chart out the ways through which certain spaces get associated with a particular image or history. The chapters in the volume explore a variety of themes—textual representations of the region, epistemic practices and educational policies, as well as administrative manoeuvres and governmental practices which helped the state in mapping its people. An important contribution in the study of Indian history, this interdisciplinary work will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of science and technology studies, history, sociology and social anthropology and South Asian studies.
The study of the population is one of the important aspects of research on human development. ‘Population Geography’ is one of the newly developed branches of Human Geography. Population means a set of humans in a given area and it is one of the dominant factors which is responsible for the development of any country or region because man is the utilizer of the physical earth and he is also the creator of the cultural earth. Simply, Population Geography means the study of the population and its characteristics. Population Geography studies Population growth, Distribution, Density, Literacy rate, Sex composition and Age structure, Health, Mortality, Morbidity, Migration, Fertility and reproductivity etc. India is the most populous country in the world. Our country covers only 2.4 percent of the land area of the world, whereas it is the home of more than 17.7 percent of the world’s population.
