Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This important new study investigates the competing demand for water in the Bhavani and Noyyal River basins of south India from the early 19th century to the early 21st century from a historical perspective. In doing so, the book addresses several important questions:* Did policy-makers visualise the future demand while diverting water from distant places or other basins?* Was efficient use ensured when the water was diverted or was it diverted in a manner that resulted in pollution and serious damage to the entire river basin?* Were natural flows taken care of in order to preserve the ecology and environment?* What were the factors that aggravated the competing demand for water and what were the consequences for the future?In the context of the current discourse on the competing demands for water, this book takes the debate forward, expanding the horizon of environmental history in the process. Until now, agriculture, industry and domestic water supply and their consequences for ecology, the environment and livelihoods have been given scant attention. Velayutham Saravanans comprehensive account of both the colonial and post-colonial periods corrects this shortcoming in the fields literature and gives a holistic understanding of the problem and its full historical roots. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. The debate on India's political economy during the post-independence period has focussed mainly on a macro-level, sectoral level, or some specific issues, it did not pay much attention to the study of the issues at the regional or ground level. It is significant to note that while the macro-level or sectoral level debates on India's political economy have largely failed to provide reasons for the SCs, STs and to informal sector labour force has not improved, and the factors that are responsible for this phenomenon during the post-independence period. In other words, the question as to how the strategies of post-independence development experience has failed to uplift the SCs, STs, and gender and informal sector labour force, from the political economy point of view is being analysed. The debate also failed to capture the political economy of environment, society, polity, gender, and labour history at the regional and grassroots level during the post-independence period. Conse­quently, scholars have emphasised that the importance of political eco­nomy of modern India in terms of lower level of political system, public culture, gender, and masses or lower classes or the landless needs to be studied. Given the background, the present book attempts to capture the regional and micro-level issues and problems on a wide range of issues such as: environment, society, polity, gender and labour history to understand the political economy of modern south India during the period.…
