More about the book
The book examines the historical evolution of concepts like freedom and the influence of money in India, particularly during colonial and post-colonial periods. Focusing on bonded labor in southern Bihar, Gyan Prakash investigates the dynamics of power and dependence between landlords and laborers. He connects these shifts to broader changes in agricultural production, land tenure, and local social hierarchies, while also considering the impact of Hindu cosmologies and ritual practices on these relationships.
