Kingship and Political Practice in Colonial India 阿里云 lit azw3 txt pdf caj 下载 在线

　　In this 1996 cultural history which c***iders the

transformation of south Indian instituti*** under British colonial

rule in the nineteenth century, Pamela Price focuses on the two

former 'little kingdoms' of Ramnad and Sivaganga which came under

colonial governance as revenue estates. She ***s how

rivalries among the royal families and major zamindari temples, and

the disintegration of indigenous instituti*** of rule, contributed

to the development of nationalism and identity amongst the people

of southern Tamil country. The author also shows how religious

symbols and practices going back to the seventeenth century were

reformulated and acquired a new significance in the colonial

context. Arguing for a reappraisal of the relati***hip of Hinduism

to politics, Price finds that these symbols and practices continue

to inform popular expectation of political leadership today.
