SUMMARY:#YSOSS 3 Seminar 6 – Claiming Caste: Land, Water, and Hierarchy in North India, c. 1660-1950
DESCRIPTION:\nThe sixth seminar of the FAS Young Scholars’ Online Seminar Series 2024-25 was presented by Brian T. Cannon, Lecturer, Critical Writing Program, University of Pennsylvania, on Friday, February 28, 2025 at 4.30 PM IST.\nBrian’s study explores how regimes of land-keeping in early modern and colonial desert India engendered and sustained hierarchical social and economic relationships by controlling access to land, water, and other natural resources. Employing a host of descriptive and statistical material from Marwari, Hindi, and British colonial archives, it demonstrates how ownership of and access to sources of land and water persistently shaped claims to and contests over caste status over three long centuries. The work challenges the historiographical consensus that primarily views caste as a social phenomenon and argues for a materially-grounded perspective of caste.\nThe discussant for this session was Dr. Akhila Mathew, Assistant Professor of History, School of Arts and Sciences, Azim Premji University.\nThe series is chaired by Barbara Harriss-White, Emeritus Professor of Development Studies, the University of Oxford.\nTo attend the seminars, register here.\nTo see the schedule of other Seminars in this series click here.\n\nFor more details, contact us at events[at]fas[dot]org[dot]in.\n\n\n
