Abstract:
Michael Pearson has argued that “rights for revenue” was an important element in the European way of organizing long-distance trade in the early modern period. The state provided indigenous merchant groups with commercial privileges and allowed them to influence political affairs. In return, the state received a part of the economic surplus. The East India Company and the British state shared such a relationship. However, as this article demonstrates, the East India Company was not an impersonal entity. It consisted of many layers of private entrepreneurs, who pursued their own private interests sheltered by the Company’s privileged position. One such group was the Company servants in Asia. The French conquest of Madras in 1746 and the following period of British sub-imperialism in India demonstrate that the state had traded off too many rights. Through the business papers of Willian Monson, a senior Company servant in Madras, the historian can describe the fall of Madras as a consequence of deteriorating relationships between private interests within the Company structure. Directors, shareholders, Company servants and private merchants in India fell out with each other. In this situation, the British state found it difficult to intervene.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article explores the entwined history of early colonial urbanism and the articulation of legal subjectivity under East India Company rule in South India. More specifically, it looks at petitions from outcaste labouring groups to the Madras government in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Although early colonial petitions were unequivocally products of colonial rule, which derived their distinctive form and language from colonial law, a reading of the petition archive is one of the only ways to achieve a historical understanding of the city of Madras as it was experienced by its less privileged inhabitants. This article looks at the delineation of the communal selfhood of subaltern urban communities through petition narratives, arguing that the variety and innovativeness displayed by petition writers is testament both to the acceptance of colonial legality and to the agency of native subjects in negotiating with, and appropriating the language and rationale of, the colonial legal regime.

Abstract:
The Institution of Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG) of India is a constitutional regulatory authority to assist central and state legislatures by submitting timely performance and compliance audit of the expenditure made by the concerned governments, examining whether the funds earmarked and approved for the purposes by the legislature have been utilised properly. It is an essential instrument to enforce accountability of executive to legislature by presenting fair and proper audit so that any fraud and embezzlement can be detected, and thereby probity and good governance can be ensured. This is possible only when the appointment of the C&AG will be made by constitutionally and legally fixed proper criteria to ensure its impartiality and independence from the executive and legislature, with certain degree of accountability to the latter.

Abstract:
AbstractInteractions between ruling and opposition parties in India have long been sorely neglected by political analysts. This study finds clear contrasts between interactions at national and state levels in this federal system, and further, often marked variations across the 28 states – each of which has its own Westminster-style legislature. Government–opposition relations range from semi-civilized to caustic, although most cases are situated some at distance from those extremes. So, despite a recent confrontation in the Indian Parliament, there are no strong trends towards either deterioration or greater accommodation. This is a study in ambiguity.

Abstract:
AbstractThe informal sector and informal employment relations occupy a prominent place in India's economy: one of their key features is the apparent absence of the state from labour regulation. This article seeks to trace the emergence of the division between the formal and informal sectors in India's economy from a historical perspective: it shows how the state, far from being absent, played a fundamental role in creating the dichotomy. This is done through a close study of labour legislation and the politics around it, taking South India as a case study. The article examines the enactment of four laws in Madras province in the late 1940s, ostensibly aimed at protecting workers, and their subsequent implementation by the Madras government. It shows how these laws ended by excluding workers from small unorganized industries (such as beedi-making, arecanut-processing, handloom-weaving, and tanning) from legal protection. It explores the ramifications of this exclusion and argues that the reinforcement of the formal–informal divide was the outcome of a complex political struggle between employers, workers' unions, and the state during this formative period.

Abstract:
Between 1948 and 1960, South India (Madras State) and Southeast Asia emerged as global centres for tuberculosis control. This article attempts to situate tuberculosis control of these two regions within the broader context of international health. It investigates the unique ways in which tuberculosis control in Madras state reflected the inner tensions between the notional magic bullet approach, which focuses on specific cures to root out the cause of the disease, and a more holistic approach that relates disease prevention to overall well-being of the population. The implementation of tuberculosis control across South India and Southeast Asia shed light on the nature of the post-colonial state sovereignty in public health. Across India, as in Southeast Asia, the state sovereignty appertaining to the implementation of health policy was fractured, as evident in the opposition to the Bacillus Calmette– Guérin (BCG) vaccination. Based on a wide range of archival materials, this article examines tuberculosis control in South India and Southeast Asia between 1948 and 1960. It situates tuberculosis control within the context of nationalist discourse and preventive medicine. In doing so, it adds not only to the historiography of tuberculosis in non-Western contexts, which has hitherto focused on India, Sri Lanka, Africa, or the Caribbean, but also to the relatively new field of Southeast Asian medical history.

Full text
Abstract:
In 1865, the Madras government enacted a legislation, the Irrigation Cess Act, designed to allow it to extract revenue from water as separate as that from land. However, as emphasized by many commentators, this pithy legislation was far from comprehensive in its definition of government powers over water. Faced with resolute opposition from zamindars to any further legislation that would centralize control over water resources as well as powers to levy fees over water use to the government, the Madras state was forced to confront zamindars in court over the interpretation of the Irrigation Cess Act. In 1917, the Privy Council, the highest court in the land, delivered a landmark judgement in resolution of a dispute between the Madras government and the Urlam zamindari. The Urlam case, this article argues, lends a new perspective to historiography on custom and the environment in colonial India. The Privy Council judgement rendered custom a physical, historically reified, and ‘natural’ quality, simultaneously within and outside the encounter between labour and nature.

Abstract:
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the clinical outcome in a group of first-episode schizophrenic patients on a 10-year follow-up. The social, demographic and clinical variables associated with poor outcome and gender differences in outcome were other issues addressed. Method: Ninety patients fulfilling Feighner's and ICD-9 criteria for schizophrenia, at Madras, India, were included for a 10-year follow-up. The Present State Examination and the Psychiatric and Personal schedule were administered at intake and at the end of every year. Clinical outcome was considered as a combination of the pattern of course and the presence of positive symptoms during year 10. Results: After 10 years, 76 of the 90 patients included were followed up, giving a follow-up rate of 84%. The clinical outcome was good in nearly 75% of the patients with almost all symptoms showing a steep decline at the end of 10 years. Fifty-nine subjects were asymptomatic at the end of the follow-up period and 12 were ill during the entire 10th year. Sexual, religious and grandiose delusions and flat affect at inclusion predicted a poor clinical outcome. More males had a poor outcome and spent a longer time in a psychotic state. Conclusions: There is evidence of a good outcome in the majority of first-episode schizophrenic patients after 10 years in keeping with other reports from developing countries. Certain variables at inclusion predicted a poor clinical outcome and males had a poorer outcome than females.

Abstract:
Gopalasamudram Narayana Ramachandran, the eldest son of G. R. Narayana Iyer and Lakshmi Ammal, was born on 8 October 1922. G. R. Narayana Iyer, who had previously taught at Tirunelveli in Tamilnadu, had joined the Mathematics Department of the Maharaja's College at Ernakulam in the erstwhile Cochin state, which is now part of Kerala. He rose to become the principal of the college. Ramachandran had his schooling at Ernakulam. He also completed the intermediate course at the same city. He was a brilliant student who was particularly good in mathematics. He stood first in the intermediate examination in the entire Madras University, to which most of the colleges in south India were then affiliated. He then joined, in 1938, the BSc (Hons) course in physics in St Joseph's College, Trichy. Ramachandran completed the course, again standing first in the Madras University.

Abstract:
This paper traces a side story to the well-known tale of the poligar rebel Kattabomman, who was hanged in 1799 for his refusal to accept the authority of the emerging colonial state in south India. Specifically, it draws on the story of seventy-three poligars who survived the brutal Poligar Wars and were transported to Penang in Southeast Asia in 1801, an episode that highlights the workings of the coercive power and moral authority of the new regime in early colonial India. The paper illustrates the variety of forms that resistance to the regime took and the extent to which the colonial state in south Asia strengthened and was strengthened by the rising British Empire across the Indian Ocean. The poligars' lives in exile are reconstructed as a story of their struggle for status and dignity in a settlement where they were initially lumped together with convicts brought there from Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay.

Abstract:
This chapter details Burke's political life from 1777 to 1785. As Burke pondered the implications of a formal pact with the American colonies that might help bring to an end two years of angry warfare, the affairs of India were unexpectedly thrust onto the parliamentary agenda. It was in the aftermath of the violent deposition of Lord Pigot from his position as Governor of Madras in August 1776 that Burke's attention became focused on the transactions of the subcontinent. For two years from the spring of 1777 he concerned himself in particular with developments in the south. This culminated in the joint publication with William Burke of the Policy of Making Conquests for the Mahometans in the summer of 1779.

Abstract:
A dysfunctional legislature and a powerful executive severely weakens the rule of law. Lawmaking should not become an exercise of power by the majority but instead strictly adhere to the legal process which includes dialogue, reasoning, and open debate. By examining the functioning of Parliament and state legislatures over the years, the adherence, or otherwise, to the established process in the making of laws is critically analysed. The nature of the modern state, particularly a state that has a primary role in the social and economic life of society, has meant a regular exercise of the power of delegated legislation. Delegated legislation is accompanied by the threat of an arbitrary exercise of power as well as the influence of irrelevant considerations in decision-making. Using specific examples, the chapter examines whether the use of delegated legislation in India has been a threat to the Rule of Law.

Abstract:
Colonial Terror concludes by exploring how the attempts of the British colonial regime in India, in the decades following the Madras torture commission, to deny the ongoing prevalence of torture in the Indian police began to unravel in the early twentieth century thanks to the emergence of a voluble Indian press and a mass nationalist movement. But it was not until 1909, following the failures of a series of high-profile ‘conspiracy’ trials due to the ongoing reliance of the police on extorted confessions as their primary form of evidence, combined with pressure exerted by yet another group of reformist MPs, that torture once again erupted into scandal. The Indian and British governments were thus forced to act, but although the actions they took exposed the sheer scale of police torture in colonial India, they did little, once again, to attempt to eradicate it, since eradication was impossible thanks to the importance of torture to the maintenance of colonial rule. They endeavoured, instead, to make it disappear by renaming it, as well as to transform India into a fully-fledged state of exception in which police torture could continue to flourish, freed from the constraints placed on it by the rule of law.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews the earliest Westminster Model constitutions that took unambiguously monarchical forms, namely those of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa. It talks about the power that was vested in the Crown, which was an integral part of the legislature even in the post-war era. It also mentions former colonies that became independent from the British Empire and did not cease to be part of 'Her Majesty's dominions' as they continued as Commonwealth realms with the functions of the Head of State being performed by a Governor-General nominally appointed by the Queen. The chapter explains how Ireland and Burma retained Westminster Model constitutions in republican guise, with a ceremonial figurehead president that take over the functions that would normally be performed by a Governor-General. It identifies Bangladesh, Dominica, India, Ireland, Malta, Samoa, and Trinidad & Tobago as current examples of Westminster Model republics.
