Formatted contents note About this Item: Orient BlackSwan Pvt. Ltd, 2015. Softcover. Condition: New. First edition. Much has changed in the world of South Asian history-writing since Sumit Sarkar Ûªs renowned classic, Modern India (1983). ÛÏThe passage of thirty years having rendered that work thoroughly dated, the futility of any attempt to revise it became increasingly clear to me, especially as over this period my own historical perspectives took new and unexpected directions Û , says the author. The present work is an entirely fresh view of the same period. Focusing on three huge areas ÛÓ Economy, Environment, and Culture ÛÓ Professor Sarkar offers his magisterial perspective on these. Scientific discourses, laws, forest administration, peasants and adivasis, irrigation, and conflicts over land-use are examined, as are agrarian relations, commercialization, indebtedness, and famine. Trade, finance, and industry are other major focus areas. Modern urban India is scrutinized via the literature on its big cities. Sociabilities, caste configurations, and public culture (theatre, cinema, and sports) are discussed, as are literature, dance, music, and painting. In conclusion, says Professor Sarkar, ÛÏI have within each chapter incorporated the relevant historiographical developments, changes, and debates. Separate bibliographical sections will I hope facilitate the work of teachers and students
