Focusing on the Patna Division of Bihar from 1870 to 1920, the book examines the intersection of agriculture, development, and poverty under British rule. It explores how British policies shaped the economy and details the effects of legal, administrative, and scientific interventions on rural life and societal norms in the region. Through this lens, it reveals the complexities of colonial influence on India's agricultural landscape and the lives of its people.
