About the Book
This book explores the roots of Indian nationalism, often overlooked, tracing its origins to the belief that India was being increasingly impoverished under British rule. It brings to light a significant yet previously closed chapter in history by presenting the text of an inquiry conducted in Uttar Pradesh (formerly North-Western Provinces and Oudh). The inquiry is preceded by a detailed introduction, offering a critical analysis of the material conditions and social customs of the time. This includes the lives of the poor, laborers, artisans, landlords, moneylenders, and women, along with an examination of the quality and substance of the reports. This work provides crucial insights into the social and economic landscape that shaped India's early nationalist sentiments.
