About the Book
This book is a historical study that delves into the concepts of order and disorder in early colonial Bengal. It investigates the intersection of social unrest, crime, and violence, and the British colonial state's efforts to maintain control over them. Through detailed accounts of the numerous instruments of control, as well as the numerous breaches of law, the book explores the mechanisms of social control in the context of British administrative policies, their ideological framework, and their colonial perceptions of law and justice.
Additionally, the book examines various forms of social disorder, especially in rural areas, during times when the society was not embroiled in major insurrectionary movements. It provides an in-depth look into seemingly less significant events such as rural violence, dacoity, and riots, offering insights into the colonial state's response to these disturbances. The narrative highlights the complexity of colonial governance and the dynamic social fabric of Bengal during this period.
