Description
This text examines the interaction between the landed aristocracy in 19th-century Bengal and colonial rule, with reference to Midnapore district. It questions the standard assumption that, as collaborators, zamindars prospered under colonial rule, and argues that they passed through a prolonged crisis in the period 1870-1920, with a gradual decline in their social power.
