His answers to these questions shed new light on the growth of popular organisations in princely India, on relations between the Hindu and Sikh princes and the communal parties in British India, and on governance as a factor in communal riot production and prevention.CommunalismIndiaHistory20th centuryReligion and politicsIndiaHistory20th centuryIndiaHistory20th centuryElectronic books.CommunalismHistoryReligion and politicsHistory305.6/0954/09041Copland Ian1943-870684MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910449947903321State, community, and neighbourhood in princely North India, c. 1900-19501943676UNINA
