Essays for Binay Bhushan Chaudhuri

An Enquiry into Village Panchayat Databases

There is no area of Indian agrarian history that Binay Bhushan Chaudhuri has not traversed. This volume considers his work on the peasantry and the political economy of agriculture in eastern India, including the process of “depeasantization” and the forcible induction of tribes and forest dwellers into settled agriculture, as well as other aspects of social and cultural history.

A new structure of local government, the contemporary village panchayat, has emerged in rural India as a consequence of the Constitution (73rd Amendment) Act, 1992. This new statistical domain requires databases for the development functions that have been allocated to it. This book is a study of panchayat-level databases and their potential use in local administration, planning, and policy implementation.

Detecting and Modeling the Changes of Land Use and Land Cover for Land Use Planning in Da Nang City, Vietnam

Wang Ke

Translated by Carissa Fletcher

Hoang Khanh Linh Nguyen Da Nang City, located in the South Central Coast region of Vietnam, has seen rapid industrialization and urbanization causing incessant changes of land use and land cover. Linh Nguyen’s study detects, quantifies, and characterizes the changes in the Da Nang City region. The study provides new strategies for land-use planning in comparable regions facing rapid industrialization.

Based on rare firsthand historical data, Wang Ke presents an analysis of East Turkestan, including the perspective of Islamic social structure; the origin and evolution of thoughts on national revolution; the internal structure of the independence movement; and the power structure of the republic, international relations, and international politics.
