Hardcover. Condición: New. The essays in the book explore the nature and direction of socio-economic change in the lower Cauvery delta. They draw primarily on the results of two census-type, schedule-based surveys of all households conducted in the villages of Palakurichi and Venmani in Nagapattinam district, Tamil Nadu, in 2018 19. The region in which the villages are located is historically associated with large agricultural surpluses from rice cultivation, in turn sustained by punishing forms of caste and class oppression. Recent decades, however, have seen great changes to the crop regime and to relations of agrarian production. The sharp decline in the supply of Cauvery water for irrigation to the region in the last two decades has accelerated this change and given it new dimensions. The analyses and findings presented in the book discuss the manifold stresses on the socio-economic fabric of the region with the decline of the delta as a hub of rice cultivation. The gains achieved in the 1980s from the Green Revolution weakened, and no major new sources of non-agricultural production emerged within villages. The old forms of tyrannical landlordism and extra-economic oppression of Dalit agricultural workers that had led to the massacre of 44 Dalits by landlords in Keelavenmani in 1968 do not exist today, owing to sustained struggles by the working people led by the Communist parties. Nevertheless, unequal land ownership and landlessness and acute economic inequality continue to be significant features of the agrarian sector. An important new aspect of agrarian change, this study notes, is the replacement of the full-time agricultural labour force with a rural manual worker force that engages in both agricultural and non-agricultural wage labour. The essays also analyse other dimensions of agrarian change in the region in employment and incomes, the forms of credit in operation, education, sanitation, and housing. The pace and path of economic change has placed rural Tamil Nadu ahead of many other Indian states, in terms of both economic performance and human development. Yet, without fundamental structural change, this book argues, the gains attained are incomplete. Here lies a central policy challenge to meeting the region s economic and democratic potential.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This book discusses agrarian relations in the Lower Cauvery delta, historically part of the "rice bowl" of south India, based on socio-economic studies of two villages in the region. The two villages, surveyed in 201819 by the Foundation for Agrarian Studies, are Venmani and Palakurichi, located in Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu. Venmani was the site of an atrocity in 1968, when upper-caste landlords burned down the huts of Scheduled Caste agricultural workers to suppress their struggle for higher wages and better working conditions, killing forty-four women and children. Palakurichi has been a site of study for over a century, with its first survey conducted as part of the Slater village project in 1916 and a further five studies since then, providing a unique opportunity to study long-term change in rural India. The essays in the book use data from the village studies to analyse features of caste discrimination and class differentiation. They point to important changes in the class structure of the two villages, with a decline in the number of landlords, a proliferation of small and marginal landowning peasants, and a transformation of the class of agricultural labourers into a class of manual workers. This book discusses agrarian relations in the Lower Cauvery delta, historically part of the "rice bowl" of south India, based on socio-economic studies of two villages in the region.
