Kingship and Political Practice in Colonial India pdf 在线 2025 epub 免费 书籍 下载

　　In this 1996 cultural history which considers the

transformation of south Indian institutions under British colonial

rule in the nineteenth century, Pamela Price focuses on the two

former 'little kingdoms' of Ramnad and Sivaganga which came under

colonial governance as revenue estates. She demonstrates how

rivalries among the royal families and major zamindari temples, and

the disintegration of indigenous institutions of rule, contributed

to the development of nationalism and identity amongst the people

of southern Tamil country. The author also shows how religious

symbols and practices going back to the seventeenth century were

reformulated and acquired a new significance in the colonial

context. Arguing for a reappraisal of the relationship of Hinduism

to politics, Price finds that these symbols and practices continue

to inform popular expectation of political leadership today.
