- W2598588809 abstract "Annual inundations leading either to the alluviation of new land or the diluviation of existing land was a chief characteristic of the mid-Gangetic plains. This “unepisodic” nature of fluvial ecology, unlike more violent and disruptive ones such as floods, raised several issues related to the adjustment and measurement of land, settlement, revenue, property, and not least, farming. These flexible and movable agrarian lands, locally called diaras or churs, presented the colonial state with a grave problem, as revenue and agrarian policies were based on “permanence”. This chapter takes up the themes of law and measurement to show how the colonial state came to deal with this peculiar ecological situation. In so doing, the chapter argues that the colonial approach was far from homogenous. The ideological thinking among the revenue bureaucracy remained vertically divided, while the legal interventions, which professed to follow local customs, provided the context for further complications and litigations." @default.
