Description
The Land Revenue of Bombay presents a thorough examination of Bombay’s land revenue administration from its inception through the colonial period. Alexander Rogers, drawing on extensive archival research and administrative records, traces the evolution of revenue collection systems, tax policies, and their impact on the region’s economic development.
This second edition explores how the British administration adapted and modified existing revenue structures inherited from previous rulers. The work details the rise of the Bombay presidency as a fiscal center and documents the progressive reforms implemented throughout its administrative history. Rogers analyzes the relationship between revenue policies and agricultural productivity, urban development, and commercial expansion.
Essential for historians, scholars of colonial India, and those interested in economic history, this volume provides invaluable documentation of how systematic land revenue administration shaped Bombay’s transformation into a major economic hub.
