About the Book
This study by Sulekh Chandra Gupta offers a detailed analysis of the socio-economic changes that took place in the agrarian structure of the Ceded and Conquered Provinces (now part of Uttar Pradesh) during the first thirty-three years of British rule in the region. Originally submitted as a thesis for the award of a Ph.D. degree at the University of Delhi, the study has been published with the university's kind permission. The book delves into the transformation of the agrarian economy under British governance, exploring the shifts in land ownership, agricultural practices, and socio-economic conditions that shaped the region. Gupta’s analysis offers valuable insights into the early years of colonial influence and its impact on the rural economy, shedding light on the long-term effects of British policies on the agrarian landscape of this historically significant region. The study provides a comprehensive view of a crucial phase in India's colonial history and is an essential resource for anyone interested in the socio-economic developments of the time.
