Description
A Rural and Agricultural Glossary for the N.-W. Provinces and Oudh is a seminal work by William Crooke that documents the agricultural vocabulary and rural terminology of India’s North-Western Provinces and Oudh region. This comprehensive glossary serves as an invaluable resource for understanding the linguistic and cultural aspects of rural Indian society during the colonial era.
The work meticulously catalogues agricultural terms, farming practices, crop names, and regional expressions specific to the area. Crooke’s detailed entries provide not only definitions but also contextual information about how these terms were used in everyday rural life. This makes the glossary an essential reference for historians, linguists, scholars of South Asian studies, and anyone interested in Indian agricultural heritage.
Originally compiled during the colonial period, this work remains a significant historical document that preserves the vocabulary and knowledge systems of rural communities. The hardcover edition published by Gyan Publishing House ensures the durability and accessibility of this important scholarly resource for future generations.
