Economy and Demographic Profile of Urban Rajasthan Eighteenth - Nineteenth Centuries

Informationen zum Autor Jibraeil is a Assistant Professor at the Centre of Advanced Study! Department of History! Aligarh Muslim University! Aligarh. Zusammenfassung The volume deals with the inter-relations between agricultural production, agrarian trade, markets, towns and population of urban Rajasthan in the eighteenth-nineteenth centuries. This study also displays that how the higher receipts from sair-jihat (non-agrarian taxes) in various areas of Rajasthan, worked in the evolution of agrarian markets into qasbas. On the same line the volume shows the fall in industrial activity in the nineteenth century which broadly corresponds with the theory of de-industrialization and de-urbanization.
