Contents:
1. The Poona districts in 1818 -- 2. The politics of moderation -- 3. The utilitarian deluge -- 4. The twilight of the Watandars -- 5. The Deccan riots of 1875 -- 6. Reconsiderations and reappraisals -- 7. The non-acquisitive society -- 8. Old elites and new horizons -- 9. The Poona districts in 1918 -- 10. Retrospect.
Summary: Hinduism flourished in the districts around Poona in Bombay to a far greater extent than in the rest of India, hence the problems facing the British administrators of Maharashtra were quite different from those confronting them in other parts of India. The solutions they proposed and the policies which emerged determined the social changes which took place in the Maharashtra in the nineteenth century. <BR> This book analyses these changes by focussing on the rise of new social groups and the dissemination of new values and shows how these social groups and values interacted with the traditiona.
