Abstract:
In the closing decades of the eighteenth and in the early decades of the nineteenth century, Peasant insurrection was endemic to the north-eastern borders of Bengal, including the submontane region of Gird Garrow, a characteristic shared with the contiguous Garo Hills. Locating these conditions of insurrection within changes in the order of the regional economy under the Company’s rule, the article elucidates the economic rationale of ‘primitive violence’ and reflects on the processes generated by the state itself in the course of subjugation of the Garo peasants in the region.

AbstractThis essay explores the history of empire and rebellion from a seaborne perspective, through a focus on convict-ship mutiny in the Indian Ocean. It will show that the age of revolution did not necessarily spread outward from Europe and North America into colonies and empires, but rather complex sets of interconnected phenomena circulated regionally and globally in all directions. Convict transportation and mutiny formed a circuit that connected together imperial expansion and native resistance. As unfree labour, convicts might be positioned in global histories of the Industrial Revolut

AbstractThis article examines the conduct of Richard Goodlad, the East India Company's collector in Rangpur, north Bengal, upon the outbreak of a peasant rebellion in his district during 1783. It uses his reaction to this event to illustrate the nature of the Company's district bureaucracy and its relationship with the central colonial authorities in Calcutta during the later eighteenth century.The article considers the aims and limitations of the European officials who were sent out to administer Bengal's districts, detailing their priorities and practices within a weak and decentralised stat

Abstract:
This paper is an exploration of the most recent revival of Utpal Dutt's play Titu Mir in 2019 by the ensemble group Theatre Formation Paribartak in India. Islamic religious reformer Titu Mir led a peasant rebellion from 1827 to 1831 in the Barasat region of Bengal and the play focuses on a narrative of revolutionary resistance to colonialism. Titu Mir becomes an articulation of political theatre against the Hindu right-wing agenda of expunging Muslim national heroes from Indian history. This essay seeks Titu Mir's relevance as a site and theory of materializing historical contradictions, and a

Abstract:
AbstractThis article studies two seismic decades in the history of the Garo community, marked out in colonial records as among the most violent and isolated people that British rule encountered in eastern and northeastern India. Through a densely knit historical narrative that hinges on an enquiry into the colonial reordering of the core elements of the regional political economy of eastern and northeastern India, it will train its focus on the figure of the rebellious Garo peasant and on the arresting display of Garo recalcitrance between 1807 and 1820.

This is an outline of the early rebellions against the East India Company that broke out in the region, comprised of the present-day Bangladesh, and Indian states of West Bengal and Odisha. Organised by a wide range of people, from ascetics, peasants, landlords to discontented nobles; these primordial rebellions summed up some of their responses to the new revenue regime, land-settlements, dispossessions, and fiscal issues, in the first hundred years of the company’s rule. The complex composition pattern of the rebellions, including ideological issues, has been analysed with reference to the S

However, this study argues for extending beyond the political-economic view, and for the importance of also bringing in overall social conditions in examination of peasant rebellions.

Midnapore was one among the first three districts ceded to the East India Company in 1760 by Mir Qasim, the other two being Burdwan and Chittagong. Following this, the acquisition of the diwani of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa in 1765 launched the East India Company into a complex administrative role related to revenue in an alien territory with complex, multi-tiered, customary land rights that were beyond their knowledge. Their attempts at revenue collection and the accompanying imposition of a legal, rational state on a customary framework led to tragedies like the Bengal famine of 1770. It serve

As a member of the Communist Party of India (CPI), Chittaprosad’s historic documents of the famine, in the form of sketches, texts and linocuts, were produced in line with the party’s demand for revolutionary popular art to mobilize the masses by means of posters as well as journalistic and documentary-style reports. Many of these works were published in the communist journals People’s War and People’s Age. This is how they circulated among intellectuals and a gene

Abstract:
Nishant (1975) can be interpreted as the saga of the end of feudalism, an order that is characterized as expropriating the labour and enslaving the bodies of the toiling peasant classes. Thus, when the labouring classes rise in rebellion and kill the landlord and his family in Nishant, their death symbolically marks the end of the dark feudal night. But, Nishant also appears interesting for the way in which the new dawn is brought about: a dawn where the sacerdotal and the secular need, buttress, and aid each other.With this backdrop, the two questions that this chapter addresses are: (a) does

Abstract The years between the two World Wars was an era of mass politics, and in this period Gambhira emerged as a political space for Hindu and Muslim peasants and labourers of Malda. This chapter examines how Gambhira changed from a swadeshi era ‘national’ art to a ‘popular’ political form during the 1920s and 1930s. While several historians have designated this period as the high point of ‘communal’ conflict between Hindus and Muslims in Bengal, the story of Gambhira reveals a different history of the shared social lives, relations and interactions between the two communities.

Abstract:
When approaching the subject of rural producers and their environments in nineteenth-century India, it is necessary to be mindful of the range of studies during the last 30 years or so that have emphasised the importance of resistance to colonial projects. These studies, most notably those published in the Subaltern Studies project (Guha 1982), have focused on the strategies and agendas of peasants in South Asia and have emphasized their importance in shaping rural developments and relationships during the period of British rule. This work has shown how these agendas and strategies often led t
