The Transition to a Colonial Economy: Weavers, Merchants and Kings in South India, 1720–1800 - Cambridge Studies in Indian History and Society
Parthasarathi, Prasannan (Boston College, Massachusetts)
Contrary to popular belief that poverty has been characteristic of India for centuries, the author demonstrates that, it was not until the rise of colonial rule that the decline in the economic fortunes of the labouring communities was initiated. The book represents a powerful revisionist statement on Britain in India.
