Description

This book offers a new way of investigating the colonial state's origins in north India. It examines how the formation of early agrarian revenue settlements exacerbated an extant late Mughal taxation tradition, and how the success of British power was shaped by this extant paper-oriented revenue culture. It goes on to examine how the service and cultural histories of various Hindu pensmen/scribal communities fit within broader changes in political administration, taxation, patterns of governance and a shared Indo-Islamic administrative culture.
