The purpose of this book is to instigate observation of local conditions, study of the community, and confident, self-reliant action among and for country people. Rural life has changed markedly, and will continue to do so. On farms and in farming towns, human forces are striving for expression, and human society needs active, energetic participation to change successfully. Country dwellers are no longer isolated from their urban fellows, and as such can contribute much to solving the current problems of rural life.

Rulers, Townsmen and Bazaars
Author: C. A. BaylyPublisher: CUP Archive
ISBN: 9780521310543
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 510
Book Description
Widely acclaimed when it first appeared in hard covers, Dr Bayly's authoritative study traces the evolution of North Indian towns and merchant communities from the decline of Mughal dominion to the consolidation of mature Victorian empire following the 'mutiny' of 1857. The first section of the book looks at the response of the inhabitants of the Ganges Valley to the 'Time of Troubles' in the eighteenth century. The second section shows how the incoming British, were themselves constrained to build their new empire on this resilient network of towns, rural bazaars and merchant communities; and how in turn colonial trade and administration were moulded by indigenous forms of commerce and politics. The third section focuses on the social history of the towns under early colonial rule and includes an analysis of the culture and business methods of the Indian merchant family. It is based in part on the private records and histories of the business people themselves.
