Description and Table of Contents

Description

The author spent thirty months in both the Punjabs (India and Pakistan) studying farmers, their agricultural practices and experiences with the administrative authorities. The differences in the rate and extent of technological change in the rural areas of the two Punjabs is analysed in the light of disparities between the two in terms of political apparatus, agricultural and rural development policies, ethnic and religious values, infrastructural and educational facilities, and land reform legislation.
