Description

The Indian village council, or panchayat, has long held an iconic place in India. Ironies of Colonial Governance traces the history of that ideal and the attempts to adapt it to colonial governance. Beginning with an in-depth analysis of British attempts to introduce a system of panchayat governance during the early nineteenth century, it analyses the legacies of these actions within the structures of later colonial administrations as well as the early nationalist movement. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which the ideologies of panchayat governance evolved during this period and to the transnational exchange and circulation of panchayat ideologies. Book Description An in-depth study of the international circulation of ideas and practices of law and governance in colonial India. About the Author James Jaffe is Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater and a fellow at the Institute for Legal Studies, University of Wisconsin, Madison. His current work on transnational legal history has received support from the National Science Foundation, the US-UK Fulbright Commission and the Ford Foundation.
