  • Summary

    This bibliography presents a list of reference articles that enable reader to understand peasant labour and colonial capital in rural Bengal in India since 1770. Scholars of colonial India have long been entranced by the intractable problem of 'land tenure', and enamoured of the age-old institution of 'village communities'. The relationship between population and production from the mid-eighteenth to mid-nineteenth century has been the subject of enquiry of both contemporary reports and articles and more recent scholarly publications. The level and burden of the colonial land revenue demand in the nineteenth century have now exercised and agitated four generations of scholars and polemicists. Peasant resistance in colonial India in general, and Bengal in particular, has been the theme on which there has been the most prolific historical writing in the past twenty-five years.
