Lands and Tenants in South India: A Study of Nellore District, 1850-1990

by M. Atchi Reddy

This book raises serious doubts about much of the accepted wisdom regarding the relative bargaining powers of landlords and tenants. Using unpublished data from the 1850s onwards, it shows how tenancy has helped in a slow but smooth transfer of land from absentee landlords to tenants and other cultivators, often gving them an upper hand.
