Description
An Account of the Land Revenue of British India by Francis Horsley Robinson provides an in-depth analysis of one of the most significant administrative systems implemented during British colonial rule in India. The work examines the historical development, structure, and functioning of the land revenue system that became the backbone of British fiscal policy in the subcontinent.
Robinson carefully documents the various revenue collection methods, tax structures, and administrative hierarchies established across different regions of India. The text explores how these systems affected both the colonial administration and the Indian population, providing valuable insights into the economic dimensions of British imperialism.
This scholarly work serves as an essential resource for historians, students, and researchers interested in understanding colonial India’s administrative mechanisms, economic history, and the lasting impacts of British governance on Indian society and land tenure systems.
