This edited volume seeks to redress the present marginalization of studies on agrarian transition in India. Issues of money lending, tenancy, class relations in agrarian production, continuous fragmentation of land holdings and the root causes of the persistent agrarian crisis that witnessed a scholarly debate in the 1960s, inform the chapters included in this book. The book focuses on themes such as agrarian policy, agrarian movements, transformation of peasant communities and finally impact of the penetration of capital on adivasi (tribal) society.
