This Fissured Land: An Ecological History of India (Oxford India Paperbacks) Book

This book represents the first ecological history of India. The authors, an ecologist and a social historian, offer a collaborative perspective on the Indian subcontinent which is rare, pathbreaking and overdue. In the first part, the authors present a general theory of ecological history. Turning specifically to the subcontinent, Part II provides a fresh interpretive history pf pre-modern India. Here the authors give an ecological interpretation of the caste system. In the third part, the authors draw upon a huge wealth of source material into their socio-ecological analysis of the modes of resources use introduced into India by the British. Written lucidly and without jargon, is a hugely informative eye-opener for anyone with an intelligent interest in ecological issues.Read More
