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的重要土地收入记录，该定居登记册，以阐明种姓制度的历史变化和1865年至1925年之间的土地变化。记录或定居登记册中包含每个村庄的每个土地上的详细信息，并为每个村庄汇编了每个村庄的时间，IE，1865年，1895年和1925年，我们已经填写了Micterement of Copies for Aterforement。印度泰米尔纳德邦Tiruchirapaslli区的Lalgudi Taluk的180卷）。该项目由三个阶段组成。第一个是将可用的信息输入到计算机中，并制作一个可读的数据文件。在我们项目的两年内，我们构建了一个数据库，其中包含大约三分之二的总量的数据。第二阶段是读取其计算机化的数据并汇总它们以编译表，这些表显示了每个村庄和每一年的土地所有权的种姓和大小。我们已经完成了22个村庄表的汇编。第三阶段是分析编译表以评估1895年至1925年之间土地所有权的历史变化。我们的分析表明，上层种姓的土地持有逐渐减少，而相反，在此期间出现了大量下种姓的小型土地持有人。
