Description
Rajnarayan Chandavarkar presents a revisionist analysis of class and politics in India between the Mutiny and Independence in this series of interconnected essays. Rejecting the 'Orientalist' view that Indian social and economic development was exceptional, Chandavarkar reasserts the critical role of working classes in shaping Indian capitalist development. Published by Cambridge University Press as part of the Cambridge Studies in Indian History & Society series, this work offers sustained argument and elegant exposition. The essays provide a major contribution to understanding how popular resistance and state power intersected during this transformative period, challenging conventional narratives about India's political and economic trajectory during the transition from colonial rule to independence.

Key Features

Chandavarkar's revisionist essays challenge Orientalist interpretations of Indian economic development and social structures between 1850 and 1950.

The work centres working-class agency and resistance as fundamental forces shaping Indian capitalist development during the colonial and independence periods.

Published as part of Cambridge Studies in Indian History & Society, the book combines sustained scholarly argument with elegant analytical exposition.

Interconnected essays examine the relationship between imperial power, popular politics, and class dynamics across five decades of Indian history.
