Abstract:
There is no doubt in saying that ancient Indian society was predominantly patriarchal in nature. The woman lived in an awful state and was lumped with shudras. The most inhuman practice was that of Sati which had gained social acceptance across the length and breadth of the society. But unlike the ancient Indian society, the society of Kashmir was almost free from all these elements which all time remained the core issues of Indian society.

Abstract:
When the English East India Company took control of Indian territories, it initially preserved the traditional religious education systems of Hindus and Muslims. Pathshalas taught Sanskrit to Hindus, and mosques served as educational hubs for Muslims. By 1823, the Andhra region came under British rule, continuing with traditional education before reforms were introduced. Colonel Colin Mackenzie and C.P. Brown made notable contributions to Andhra’s history and Telugu literature, respectively. Under Governor Sir Thomas Munro (1822–27), Hindu and Muslim schools were established in each district.

Abstract:
The legal system in India follows the common law model prevalent in the countries which were at one time under British Rule or were part of the British Commonwealth. The jurisprudence followed in India is almost the same as the one prevalent in England, though it has been cross-fertilized by typical Indian values.

Abstract:
During British rule in India, the British repeatedly claimed their aim was to establish a prosperous, welfare-driven state and modernize the nation by eradicating social issues. However, their true objective was to exploit India's economy to strengthen their capitalist system. Amid this era, social reformers, influenced by British education and Western ideas, focused on women's conditions. Noteworthy figures like Raja Rammohan Roy, Dayanand Saraswati, Ishwarchand Vidyasagar, Ramakrishna Paramhans, Keshavchandra, and Mahadev Govind Ranade sought women's emancipation.

Abstract:
Swami Dayanand Saraswati, a key thinker and social reformer of the Indian freedom struggle, was a leading force of the Indian renaissance. He raised awareness among people on significant issues related to religion, education, and social reform, and worked towards eliminating superstition and disorder prevalent in society to promote social harmony. Through his rational interpretations of the Vedas, Swami Ji emphasized critical issues such as child marriage, the practice of Sati, casteism, untouchability, and the education of women.

This essay examines, through taxation, the relationship between British colonial administrators, Tswana Dikgosi (chiefs) and their subjects in the Bechuanaland Protectorate from 1899 to 1957. It argues that since Bechuanaland became a British territory through negotiations the Tswana rulers were able to protect their interests aggressively but with little risk of being deposed. Moreover, the Tswana succession system by primogeniture worked to their advantage whenever the British sought to replace them. Taxation was one arena where this was demonstrated.

Abstract:
Among all the worlds’ democracies, the American system of government is perhaps the most self-conscious about preventing majority tyranny. The American constitutional system is predicated on an inherent ideational and institutional tension dating back to the foundation of the nation in the eighteenth century, which constrains innovative policy development. Namely, the framers designed a system that simultaneously seeks to protect the rights of the minority out of power and provide for majority rule. These opposing goals are based on the idea that limiting governmental power will guarantee indi

This book opens up a frequently neglected aspect of the rise of British power in India: namely, the impact of that process upon the lives the Indian people themselves for three centuries. Most traditional Raj histories deal with the actions, motives, and thoughts of the British who occupied, governed, and administered the subcontinent. The Making of the Raj: India under the East India Company flips the focus and tells not of the rulers but concentrates on the Indian workers—the farmers, the millhands, the servants, and the gardeners.

AbstractAccording to standard global histories of sugar, the plantation model invades the world, and slavery becomes the norm. The microhistory of sugarcane in India under British rule is different, however. Traditional sugarcane varieties proved well-matched to local conditions; production remained small-scale; and most consumers continued to favor muscovado and other varieties of brown sugar over highly refined, white sugar. Chapter 4 shows how the history of sugar in Northern India diverged from the standard narrative. Indeed, the traditional production system aligned with the concept of “a

Abstract The chapter looks at non-zamindari forms of revenue settlement that dominated the other areas under the Company’s direct rule in the Madras and Bombay Presidencies. In particular, it focuses on the advent of the raiyatwari settlement system in Madras in which it was the ostensible cultivator of the soil upon whom the right to property was settled. Arguing that the raiyatwari and zamindari systems were premised on similar discourses about property, the chapter then turns to the Company state’s difficulty in squaring the extension of its rights regime with pre-colonial practices of gift

Abstract Every Fourth of July, Americans gather at cookouts, parades, and fire-work displays to commemorate the birth of American democracy. From a broad perspective, there is much to celebrate in the story of thirteen colonies breaking away from monarchy to begin their unprecedented experiment in democratizing government and society. Even if the kind of democracy the Revolution created was in many ways more limited than the one we enjoy today, it was, nonetheless, a form of government that often provided greater freedom than Americans had experienced under British rule.
