An authoritative analysis of the political, economic, and social developments behind India’s dramatic rise in global statureWith growing economic might, new political influence, and changing social dynamics, India has emerged as a major world power in the twenty-first century. This book charts the important features of India’s development since its independence in 1947, assessing those forces that have contributed to the nation’s growth as well as those that have impeded it. Through the lens of India’s past, Dietmar Rothermund offers a new perspective on India today and a fascinating look into the nation’s future.The author explores the diverse roots of India’s economic robustness, from agriculture to the export boom. He looks closely at the country’s democratic system, nuclear decisions, and alliance with the U.S. against terror. In his review of social changes, Rothermund discusses the institution of caste, the rise of a new middle class, the persistence of poverty, the media and Bollywood, and the significance of the global diaspora of twenty million Indians. In sum, he offers an impressive profile of India, an Asian giant whose role in the world’s future will surely be unique and important.

The religious and political activities in Pennsylvania during the period between the Great Awakening and the eve of the Revolution (1740-1770) were at once typical and unique: typical as far as he general trend of American experience is concerned, unique, however, with regard to the participants and many of the issues at stake.This volume provides a balanced picture of these activities and, more specifically, describes and interprets three interrelated trends that obtained during this period-the transformation of diverse groups into a public, the shift from religious to secular interests, and the sequence of revivalistic fervor and denominational consolidation. These trends are considered with respect to the long-term developments of history, as well as with regard to their short-term interaction in the particular situation of Colonial Pennsylvania. The pattern of the interaction of these trends is delineated in detail with a view to examining the practical evolution of American Democracy and the roots of a distinct American civilization.It is noteworthy that The Layman's Progress attempts to introduce a new point of view into American Colonial historiography by focusing on contemporary attitudes rather than interpreting the period from the viewpoint of subsequent events. To this end the author has utilized a great deal of unpublished source material, some of which now appears for the first time in the Appendix. In addition, an effort has been made to emphasize those aspects of colonial history that have heretofore been largely neglected. Thus, the author gives special consideration to the interaction of the various ethnic and religious groups; more attention is devoted to religious affairs than to political, and the German groups are examined in closer detail than are the English groups.Thoroughly documented, clearly and imaginatively written, The Layman's Progress is a significant contribution to American Colonial historiography.

Die Beiträge in diesem Band untersuchen die Reaktionen der außereuropäischen Völker auf die Herausforderungen, die sich durch die europäische Expansion stellten. Dabei steht die Frage im Vordergrund, welche Aspekte der europäischen Kultur übernommen wurden und in welchen Bereichen sich die außereuropäischen Kulturen behaupteten. Der in diesem Band dargestellte Themenkomplex reicht von der Interaktion auf persönlicher Ebene über die Entstehung von Presse und Öffentlichkeit bis zu der Entstehung und dem Wandel außereuropäischer Handelsnetzwerke. Es zeigt sich, daß die europäischen Lebens- und Verhaltensweisen keineswegs universell und gleichförmig übernommen wurden, sondern daß es weiterhin starke, durch das jeweilige Umfeld bestimmte Unterschiede gibt.

India was severely hit by the Great Depression. The income of the peasants was halved due to the fall in prices while rent and revenue demands as well as debt service remained at the same old level. The government followed a deflationary policy to support the exchange rate and thus intensified the impact of the Depression. A flow of distress gold poured out of the country, thus India faced no balance of payments crisis as most other countries did at that time. From a macro-economic point of view India appeared to be not affected by the Depression. Shifts in the internal terms of trade are of no concern from this point of view. Accordingly not much attention has been paid to the impact of the Depression on India. The present study breaks new ground?in?this?respect?and?blends?economic?and?political?history.The book has four major parts: Financial Linkages, Rural India, Industrial India, and Political Consequences. The first part shows India in the context of global financial relations and monetary policies, it also provides an analysis of the Rupee ratio controversy and of the budgets which were balanced with a vengeance according to the principles of 'sound finance'. The influence of the Bank of England on Indian finance is traced in detail. The second part is devoted to the fate of the peasants and rural unrest. The legislative attempts at debt conciliation, the control of moneylenders, etc., are discussed with a view to the specific conditions of various Indian provinces. The third part portrays the development of the Indian cotton textile industry in the 1930s as well as that of other import substituting industries (sugar and steel), finally it deals with crisis management in the major export industries, jute and tea. The last part shows how the impact of the Depression was inextricably meshed with the course of the freedom movement, the advent of provincial autonomy and the widening of the franchise which inducted the substantial peasantry into the mainstream of Indian politics. The Indian National Congress became a party of the peasants in the 1930s and gained a much wider social base. These political consequences of the Depression were of great importance for the further course?of?Indian?history.
