The book sheds light on different experiences faced in states across India, including the consequences of electricity tariff reforms and related policies on irrigated agriculture. Part 1 focuses on the historical development of agriculture and social change in India, with special reference to the mode of responses and adaptations in social systems against the inherent low and erratic rainfall and resulting water stress in India during the pre-colonial period. Additionally, it investigates how colonial development destroyed social systems and discusses future development prospects. Part 2 discusses contemporary issues of agriculture and social change in India. A comprehensive examination of various important issues related to South Asian agricultural development in the past and in the present, this book will be a valuable reference for researchers of Asian development, sustainable development, environmental policy, South Asian Studies and Development Studies. 410 0$aRoutledge new horizons in South Asian studies. 606 $aIrrigation$zIndia 606 $aGroundwater$zIndia 606 $aEnergy policy$zIndia 606 $aFood supply$zIndia 606 $aSocial change$zIndia 615 0$aIrrigation 615 0$aGroundwater 615 0$aEnergy policy 615 0$aFood supply 615 0$aSocial change 676 $a338.10954 702 $aFujita$b Ko?ichi 702 $aMizushima$b Tsukasa$f1952- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910520306403321 996 $aSustainable development in India$92586512 997 $aUNINA
