项目摘要

The project aims to analyze an important land revenue record in south India, the Settlement Register, to clarify the historical change in the caste system and Landholdings between 1865 and 1925. The record or Settlement Register contains detailed information for each plort of land of each village and was compiled therr times for each village, ie, 1865, 1895 and 1925. We have collected the microfilm copies fo the Settlement Registers for about 60 villages ( totally about 180 volumes) in Lalgudi Taluk in Tiruchirapaslli District, Tamil Nadu, India.The project consists of three phases. The first one is to input the information available from the Settlement Registers into the computers and make a machine-readable data file. Within two years of our project, we constructed a data base which contains data from about two thirds of total volumes.The second phase is to read the data thus computerised and aggregate them to compile tables which show the caste-wise and size-wise distribution of the landholdings for each Village and for each year. We have completed the compilation of tables for 22 villages.The third phase is to analyze the compiled tables to assess the historical changes in the landholdings between 1895 and 1925. Our analysis indicates that the landholdings of upper castes decreased progressively and instead a large number of small landholders of lower castes appeared in this period.

该项目旨在分析印度南部重要的土地收入记录——定居登记册，以澄清 1865 年至 1925 年间种姓制度和土地所有权的历史变化。该记录或定居登记册包含每个村庄每块土地的详细信息并为每个村庄编制了多次，即 1865 年、1895 年和 1925 年。我们收集了定居登记册的缩微胶片副本，时间约为印度泰米尔纳德邦蒂鲁吉拉帕斯利区Lalgudi Taluk的60个村庄（共约180册）。该项目分为三期。第一个是将结算寄存器提供的信息输入计算机并制作机器可读的数据文件。在我们项目的两年内，我们构建了一个数据库，其中包含约三分之二总卷的数据。第二阶段是读取计算机化的数据并将其汇总以编译表格，显示按种姓和按体型分布每个村庄每年的土地拥有量。我们已经完成了22个村庄的表格编制。第三阶段是对编制的表格进行分析，以评估1895年至1925年间土地所有权的历史变化。我们的分析表明，上层种姓的土地所有权逐渐减少，取而代之的是大量种姓的土地所有权。这一时期出现了低种姓的小土地所有者。
