In agrarian societies land is the most important means of wealth and source of power and prestige. Rights in land are often hereditary with power and prestige. Therefore, changes in the tenurial system and the pattern of ownership will have far reaching effects on the social order. The Indian peasantry appeared as a formidable force against foreign domination after the imposition of British authority. Investigates the impact of British rule in the agrarian relations of Malabar district, in the Madras presidency which came under the direct rule of the British in 1792 and the consequent complexities in landlord tenant relations. The various tenancy legislations and later land reforms in the State of Kerala are also studied. The relations of the Peasant movement with the nationalist movement and the role of the Malabar peasantry in the anti-imperialist, anti-landlord struggles are discussed at length.

Thorough exploration of the distinct culture of the Mappila Muslims of Kerala, India. This book provides a comprehensive account of the distinct culture of the Mappila Muslims, a large community from the southern Indian state of Kerala. Although they were the first Muslim community in South Asia, the Mappilas are little-known in the West. Roland E. Miller explores the Mappilas’ fourteen-century-long history of social adaptation and their current status as a successful example of Muslim interaction with modernity. Once feared, now admired, Kerala’s Mappilas have produced an intellectual renaissance and renewed their ancient status as a model of social harmony. Miller provides an account of Mappila history and looks at the formation of Mappila culture, which has developed through the interaction of Islamic and Malayali influences. Descriptions of current day life cycles, religion, ritual, work life, education, and leadership are included.
