This is another study on the interrelationship between national economic growth and the regional allocation of resources (cf. BSAF 42), written by one of the authors of vol. 6 mentioned above. While vol. 42 was devoted to the East-West dichotomy in Pakistan (1947 to 1970), this volume takes up the problem arising from striking disparities within former West Pakistan (before and after 1971). In order to obtain a more precise picture of the regional structure, the author calculated six indices of economic growth by means of the first principal components method and defined 57 different regions (cf. BSAF 6, 42, 45, 67).

The author bases his analysis on documents from French colonial archives and on the original Vietnamese writings of PhanBôi-Châu.
 

53 Auswirkungen der Nahrungsmittelhilfe unter P. L. 480 auf den Agrarsektor der Entwickungsländer  : dargestellt am Beispiel Indiens [Results of food aid under P. L. 480 on the agricultural sector in India : the Indian example / von [by] Joachim von Plocki . - 1979. [17] 240 p. ISBN 3-515-03144-8

VI Anhänge [appendices], Literaturverzeichnis [bibliography], pp. 233-237, English summary pp. 238-240.

American food aid to developing countries has sometimes been suspected of producing negative long-term effects by acting as a disincentive to indigenous production. In this case-study of India, which received the highest P.L. 480 shipments in the past, it is argued that, for the period reviewed (1952 to 1968), each additional unit imported entailed a loss of domestic production of 0.14857 units. The author based his thesis on an econometric model developed by him and designed to overcome the insufficiencies of earlier calculations.

Between 1972 and 1977, the author several times visited the Basin of Khost, Paktia Province, Eastern Afghanistan, for field research. He collected 114 reports about conflicts (pp. 192-215, 248-287), and discussed the respective norms of Pashtunwali with members of different clans living in this area as agriculturalists. After a general description of Khost Basin (pp. 1-61) and the political organization of Pashtuns (pp. 62-128), the different concepts of Pashtunwali are discussed in detail (pp. 129-235). In the final chapter, the relation between Pashtuns and the government is discussed with a view to the political developments within Afghanistan. The author concludes that Pashtunwali does not only comprise the regulations of a tribal law, but all the values and norms shaping the behaviour patterns of Pashtuns.

56 Faktorproportionen, internationale Arbeitsteilung und Aussenhandelspolitik : eine theoretische und empirische Analyse unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Singapur, Westmalaysia und Pakistan [Factor proportions, the international division of labour and foreign trade policy] / von [by] Norbert Wagner. - 1980.

The traditional theory of international trade as formulated by Heckscher and Ohlin, and particularly the factor proportions theorem which purports to explain the "division of labour" among industrial nations and developing countries have of late been severely criticised. The author examines this theorem on the basis of statistical material from three countries with widely differing trade policies - Singapore, West Malaysia and Pakistan - and argues that the theorem appears to be valid for Singapore and West Malaysia, whereas the empirical test is much less convincing as far as Pakistan is concerned.

The author argues that, given the aim of complete independence which was adopted by the majority of Indian nationalists in the late 1920s, British attempts "to keep a contented India within the Empire" were an art of the impossible. British statesmen, however, clung to the policy of appeasement because, after the Irish precedent, the alternative, i.e. costly and long drawnout repression, had become unacceptable in Britain itself. Moreover, wishful thinking, which was characteristic of appeasement, could look upon Gandhi as a partner for compromise since the undisputed leader of "political India" was as flexible in his methods as he proved unyielding in his aims.

This thesis is based on empirical data which were collected in 1973/74 during a field trip to Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh, India. The author did a survey of a slum called Maheshganj ahata, which was inhabited by untouchable industrial workers and white collar workers, the latter mostly belonging to the upper castes. The untouchable labourers were Jaisvara Chamar from Eastern Uttar Pradesh. Louis Dumont's caste theory and Karl Marx's historical materialism both served as theoretical starting points for the research on caste and class loyalties of Maheshganj's inhabitants. The process of industrialization and development of the trade union movement in Kanpur are described in the introductory chapter. Family structure, political orientation and conflict and the veneration of the saints Shiv Narain and Sant Ravidas served as an example of the main thesis, i.e. that the behavioural pattern and the belief system of Maheshganj's inhabitants are governed by caste and class norms alike. The author comes to the conclusion that the contradiction between two opposing theoretical approaches can only be solved by reference to India's philosophical monism.

ISBN 3-515-03838-8

The struggle against absolute poverty and the fulfilment of human basic needs are crucial goals of development policy - both on national and international levels. But, as rather common in politics, widespread unanimity concerning goals goes hand in hand with disputes regarding the appropriate strategies to attain these goals.

ISBN 3-51503855-8

Appendix I : Utbandi or Ootbundee, pp. 164-165, Appendix II : 5 documents in Bengali with English translations pp. 166-171, glossary pp. 172-179, Select bibliography pp. 180-196.

This study analyzes the patterns of peasant desertions and inter-rural migrations with their problems and economic implications during early British rule in Bengal (1770 to 1830). The Famine of 1770, when more than two thirds of the population perished, was taken as the starting point for the study of desertions in this region and has been compared with the peasant desertions initiated in medieval Europe after the Black Death. The comparison reveals that, unlike in Europe, the long-term effects of peasant desertions in Bengal were primarily negative and resulted from exploitative colonial policies, which affected all sectors of the economy. Here, attempts have been made to show how the phenomenon of peasant desertions, permanent and temporary, of a long- and short-term nature, aggravated class differences amongst the peasantry by creating a new balance of power in the traditional agrarian structure. In Bengal, peasant desertions took place primarily in order to escape the pressures of the revenue collector and were often used as a trick to cheat the colonial masters whose policies caused an increase of the landless peasantry and sharecroppers, who sought to escape from extreme rural poverty through unprofitable inter-rural migrations.

73 Adat, Macht und lokale Eliten  : eine Studie zur Machtstruktur der Pfarrei Habi in Sikka / Flores, Indonesien anhand der Einführung der Institution Gabungan Kontas 1975/76; eine empirische Untersuchung [Adat, power and local élites : a study of the power structure in the parish of Gabungan Kontas 1975/76; an empirical examination] / von [by] Paul Rudolf Nunheim. - 1982. XVI, 345 p. ISBN 3-515-03834-5

Bibliographie [bibliography] pp. 293-301, Tabellen [tables] 45-53 im Anhang [in the appendix] pp. 303-333, Fragebogen für [questionnaire for] Ketua Gabungan pp. 334-338, Strukturierter Fragebogen für Gabungan-Mitglieder [structured questionnaire for members of Gabungan] pp. 339-342, English summary pp. 343-345.

Nunheim's thesis is focussed on the parish of Sikka / Flores (Indonesia). The theoretical framework follows the tradition of political anthropology, more especially that of Balandier. His empirical approach centres around power structures in connection with certain élites within Sikka society. Methodologically, he determines power by reputation and decision processes. The quantitative research through structured interviews tries to identify local élites and associated segmentarian power structures for specified processes of decision making.
 

74 Tamil : Sprache als politisches Symbol; politische Literatur in der Tamilsprache in den Jahren 1945 bis 1967; mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Schriften der Führer der dravidischen Bewegung  : E. V. Rmacmi und C. N. Aturai [Tamil : Language as a political symbol; political literature in the Tamil language during the years 1945 to 1967; with special reference to the writings of the leaders of the Dravidian movement : E. V. Rmacmi and C. N. Aturai / von [by] Dagmar Hellmann-Rajanayagam. - 1984. VII, 249 p.

ISBN 3-515-03894-9

English summary pp. 242-249, Bibliographie [bibliography] pp. 225-233, index pp. 235-241.

During the period from Independence to 1967, the Dravidian movements in Madras State (later : Tamil Nadu) gained increasing significance, culminating in the electoral victory of D.M.K. (Tirvita Murak Kaakam = Dravidian Progress Movement) in 1967. This thesis deals with the diverse Dravidian movements as well as with the development of their programmes and ideas based on the writings and speeches by the respective founders and leaders. Linguistic problems and questions arising thereof are of special importance in the ideology of these movements. These developments are seen in relation to the general discussion of nationalism and the question whether they have to be regarded as being "national" or "nationalistic". Finally, they are compared with similar movements in Jaffna and Malaysia.
 

75 Moderne Gesetzgebung in Indien und ihre Auswirkung auf die Landbevölkerung  : eine Dorfstudie aus Uttar Pradesh [Modern legislation in India and its repercussions on the rural population : a village study from Uttar Pradesh] / von [by] Eva Prochazka. - 1982. XI, 133 p. ISBN 3-515-03893-0

English summary pp. 131-133, Literaturverzeichnis [bibliography] pp. 128-130.

This study presents aspects of change in the Indian village which was to be achieved through land reforms with economic and political goals. The authoress shows the economic and social consequences resulting from an imposition of ceilings and the redistribution of land. She also includes the Dowry Prohibition Act which was meant as a tool to regulate the economic aspects of traditional marriage patterns and which proved to be ineffective. Marriage has become a matter of financial competition : The bridegroom's education becomes the standard for determining the dowry. The effects towards making village administration more democratic by eliminating the existing patterns ofauthority and the consequences thereof are discussed, too. Finally, the authoress looks into village development programmes not included in the Five Year Plans.
 

76 Status and affinity in middle India / by Georg Pfeffer. - 1982. VII, 104 p.

ISBN 3-515-03913-9

XV figures, bibliography pp. 100-104.

The systems of classification among some 50 million "Scheduled Tribes" and "Scheduled Castes" in the hilly areas of Middle India have been largely ignored by ethnography. The present study compares them with classifications of sacred space in the coastal region of Orissa to point out the idea of "dual sovereignty" (Needham) as the principle of both.

78 Über Entstehungsprozesse in der Philosophie des Nyya-Vaieika-Systems [On processes of genesis in the philosophy of the Nyya-Vaieika system] / von [by] Hans-Georg Türstig. - 1982. XIX, 101 p.

ISBN 3-51503951-1

Textanhang [Appendix : Texts] : Übersetzung thematisch relevanter Textstellen (6. Jh. - 17. Jh. n. Chr.) [translation of relevant text passages (6th to 7th centuries A.D.)] pp. 67-82, Anmerkungen [notes] pp. 83-98, Literaturhinweise [bibliography] pp. 99-101.

This study begins with three graphs illustrating the systematic structure of the Nyya-Vaieika philosophical system. The first three chapters deal with the facts underlying the processes of the origins including their causalities. These processes and their causalities are then critically discussed; here, certain recurring structures can be seen. The author points to contradictions inherent in the system, sometimes being the result of the system's axiomatic theory if applied unrestrictedly. The translation of the texts in the appendix also includes that on the theory of origins.
 

79 Cheap lives and dear limbs  : the British transformation of the Bengal criminal law 1769-1817 / by Jörg Fisch. - 1983. VII, 154 p.

ISBN 3-515-04012-9

Appendix I : Cornwallis's Enquiry, 19 November 1789, IOR P/52/22 (Bengal Revenue Council, 3 Dec 1790 p. 136, Appendix II : Wellesly's Enquiry, 29 October 1801 (Parliamentary Papers 9, 1812/13, 1-290, List of Replies pp. 137 to 138, Appendix III : A note on legislation and on legislative sources p. 139, abbreviations p. 140.

The British were at first reluctant to interfere with criminal law and administration in Bengal. In 1790, however, legislation started. By 1817, it had not only brought the administration of criminal justice under British control, but had also replaced the basic principles of the Islamic law and most of its punishments by the principles and laws of European origin. Its main aim was to secure law and order. Punishments became more severe, while, at the same time, penalties that were shocking to British feelings, especially mutilation, were abolished. The forfeiture of life became more frequent, but the forfeiture of limbs was no longer acceptable.
 

80 Brata und lpan in Bengalen [Brata and lpan in Bengal] / von [by] Eva Maria Gupta. - 1983. X, 210 p. ISBN 3-515-04063-3

Karte von Bengalen [map of Bengal] p. 11, 8 Tabellen im Text [8 tables in the text], 100 Abbildungen im Text [sketches in the text], Glossar [glossary] pp. 201-203, Literaturverzeichnis [bibliography] pp. 204-205, English summary pp. 207-210.

This book deals with the magic religious rites (brata) which are mostly extinct nowadays among women in rural Bengal. During the ceremonies, the site is ritually cleansed through drawings on the floor (lpan). Twenty-three different bratas are examined from different points of view and ordered according to specific characteristics. Almost any lpan in these rites is related within a certain symbolism to the aim of the rites or to the act itself. lpans used during family festivities are also presented in this book. Finally, floor drawings developed in the Tgore School in Santiniketan bearing no relation to certain rites are compared with lpans closely related to bratas.
 

81 The Mo documents from Tanjore in Danish collections / edited, translated and analysed by Elisabeth Strandberg. - 1983. 386 p.

ISBN 3-51504080-3

List of abbreviations pp. 361-362, bibliography pp. 363-368, word index pp. 369-378, subject and name index pp. 379-386.

This book contains both charts of normal Mo, of its variants as well as vocabularies of administrative terms not found in Molesworth's dictionary. The author presents a clearer picture of the development of the New Indo-Aryan language, viz. Marh, as it was used in the otherwise Dravidian kingdom of Tanjore. Marh was the language of the Tanjore court from 1674 to 1855 A.D., and the material presented here covers two thirds of that period, namely from 1725 to 1844 A.D. It is for the first time that any such extensive source material in Tanjore Marh has been published. It will become clear that the development of Tanjore Marh was closely linked to the position and power of the Marha kings of Tanjore. Finally, it is for the first time that source material on the history of one of the small colonial powers in India has been published; Tranquebar was under Danish administration for 225 years (1620-1845) and the documents reviewed cover the development of Indo-Danish relations during the second half of that period.
 

82 Agrarverfassung und Agrarentwickung in Thailand [Agrarian strucutre and agrarian development in Thailand] / von [by] Friedrich W. Fuhs in Zusammenarbeit mit Forschungsstelle für Internationale Agrarentwicklung e.V., Heidelberg [in collaboration with the Research Centre for International Agrarian Development, Heidelberg]. - 1985. XVIII, 311 p. ISBN 3-515-04553-8

24 Abbildungen [graphs], 91 Tabellen [tables] im Text [in the text], 5 Anhangstabellen [tables in the appendix] pp. 277-281, Literaturverzeichnis [bibliography] pp. 283-304, English summary pp. 305-311.

This study gives a comprehensive description of Thai agriculture, agricultural production, rural institutions and agrarian development during the period from 1963 to 1978. The present land tenure system is depicted as being the result of the historical development which began in 1855 with the Bowring Treaty and the abolishment of slavery and serfdom shortly afterwards. The development of railway transportation in the country, an administrative reform, a liberal economic policy, a new land law and many other reforms set the legal and institutional framework for agricultural development in the 20th century in which, so far, the population has increased more than sixfold. Thailand's agriculture has reached a turning point : The agricultural area can no more be enlarged, but it must, nevertheless, continue to absorb the annually growing surplus of labourers who cannot find any job in the secondary or tertiary sector.

84 Fischerei und Fischereiwirtschaft im nördlichen Ceylon  : Standort und Lebensraum der Fischer im Norden der Tropeninsel [Fisheries and the fishery industry in northern Ceylon : location and living space of the fishermen in the north of the tropical island] / von [by] Thomas Gläser. - 1983. XV, 196 p.

ISBN 3-515-04054-4

Literatur [bibliography] pp. 162-176, Bildanhang [appendix] : 43 Photos [photographs] pp. 177-194, English summary pp. 195-196.

Although an island, Ceylon cannot be regarded an ideal location for fishing industries. The author has studied the conditions prevailing in northern Ceylon and summarizes his results for the different fishing centres in "fishery calendars" demonstrating the dependence of the fishing industry on annual monsoons. The island of Mannar northwest of Ceylon proves to be a model case : The coastal regions preferred resp. neglected by the fishermen are separated by those 5 kms only which make up the width of the island. Finally, the author discusses the position of the fishing industry within the overall economy of Ceylon on the basis of his findings in the north.
 

85 Thailands Lehrer zwischen "Tradition" und "Fortschritt"  : eine empirische Untersuchung politisch-sozialer und pädagogischer Einstellungen thailändischer Lehrerstudenten des Jahres 1974 [Thailand's teachers between "tradition" and "progress" : an empirical study of social, educational, and political attitudes of students at Teacher Training Colleges and Universities in Thailand, 1974] / von [by] Ingrid Liebig-Hundius. - 1984. XII, 342 p.

ISBN 3-515-04121-4

Anhang [appendix] A : Tabellen und Diagramme [tables and diagrams] pp. 256-280, Anhang [appendix] B : Die Aussagen des Einstellungsinventars [keywords describing the attitudes] pp. 281-290, Anhang C [appendix C] : Die Aussagen des Einstellungsinventars (in Thai) [The keywords describing the attitudes (in Thai) pp. 291-296, Literaturverzeichnis [bibliography] pp. 297-323, Sachregister [subject index] pp. 324-330, Register der Aussagen des Einstellungsinventars [index of the keywords describing the attitudes] pp. 331 to 332, Personenregister [index of persons] p. 333, English summary pp. 334 to 342.

This book deals with the socio-political and paedagogical attitude of Thai students of education in their 1974 conflict between "tradition" and "progress". It becomes clear that the concepts of society and traditional values are deeply rooted in a general social orientation. In Thailand, the problem of opposition to established authorities which has been a major stimulus for social change in the West, presents itself in a completely different way. The author points out the differences between the "traditional" and "modern" concepts of education and analyses subjects such as equality of chances, contents of the curricula, methods of education and the relationship between teachers and pupils. The possibilities and limits of a transfer of socio-political ideas are also described.

During the 19th century, Indonesia experienced fundamental changes, set off by the increasing colonial presence of the Dutch, the world-wide Islamic revival and internal social factors. This study describes the development of Islam in West Sumatra. After the radical reformatory attempts by the Padri, which triggered off the resistance of the élite and the Dutch intervention, the Naqshbandiyya Brotherhood, since 1850, succeeded in propagating an orthodox version of Islamic mysticism. This mysticism proved to be very attractive to the new élite, grown in the shadow of colonial power, since it helped to decrease the differences between the local population and the colonial masters. At the same time, the Minangkabau Muslims came out of their marginal position within Islam and became true members of umma. The author depicts both the sociological and theological differences between individual brotherhoods in West Sumatra and the Dutch attitude towards orthodox and mystic Islam. Since religious development cannot be understood without considering economic development and vice versa, the development of the compulsory cultivation of coffee and the consequences thereof are also examined. The book concludes with a description of the tax rebellion of 1908.

The Malayan peninsula was ruled successively by three European nations : Portugal (Estado da India), the Netherlands (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie), and England (East India Company). The author presents an economic and historical interpretation of this period in Malayan history. The description of the political and military courses of action is taken as the empirical basis for a theoretical analysis, which understands history as being the result of the interaction between individual decisions and possibilities. The present study mainly examines the motives, interests and competence of the Malayan feudal aristocracy, the feudal farmers, the Asian traders and European colonial masters living within an environment characterized by property rights and socio-cultural norms.

Portraiture as the lifelike recognizable depiction of a living person was introduced to India by the Moghuls. Neither Persian Islamic art nor classical Hindu art knew portraiture : Islam forbade the depiction of human beings, and por-traits of kings in classical Hindu art are rather images of the conception of an ideal king having nothing to do with the actual appearance of historical persons. Emperor Jahangir (1605-1627) - stimulated by European examples - developed a marked preference for portraits. He had albums made, containing portraits of all his courtiers - in standardized poses but with individual features. The Rajput princes did not only adopt the examples set by the imperial court but often also lured painters from the Moghuls to their own court ateliers. These artists used to leave the Moghul court whenever a new emperor came into power. With the rise of the Krishna-cult of the Vallabhacharya sect at the end of the 18th century A.D., the style of portraiture changed. Lord Krishna's beauty and his consort Radha's loveliness were extolled in numerous poems and songs and illustrated in paintings. Portraits were idealized : large lotus-shaped eyes, elegantly curved eyebrows and decorative ornaments, such as curly hair, became more important than a characteristic feature. After 1860 A.D., the influence of European oil painting and photography increased and, finally, traditional portraiture gradually disappeared.

94 Die politische Stellung der Sikhs innerhalb der indischen Nationalbewegung, 1935-1947 [The political position of the Sikhs within the Indian National Movement, 1935-1947] / von [by] Christine Effenberg. - 1984. VI, 232 p.

ISBN 3-515-04284-9

Literaturverzeichnis [bibliography] pp. 212-227, English summary pp. 228-232.

This book describes the political behaviour of different Sikh parties within the Indian national movement during the final phase of the Indian struggle for freedom, and their cooperation resp. non-cooperation with the representatives of the Hindus and Muslims, and the resulting influence on Independence in 1947. The historical development of Sikhism has been dealt with in order to clearly depict the transition from a religious to a political community. The 1936 elections in Panjab, on the basis of the 1935 law on the Indian government, induced the Sikhs to found new Sikh parties. The author discusses politics in Panjab during the period from 1935 to 1947, Indian participation in World War II after Britain's entry into the war, as well as both the Muslims' and the Sikhs' demand for separate independent states.

This study deals with the description and interpretation of ideology concepts in Punjab (Pakistan) - male-female, individual-collective, legal norms-sensuality - which are structurally analyzed on the basis of a Panjabi epic poem. A breakdown of the spatial code demonstrates the anti-thetic conception of the nature of men and women; they complement each other through characteristics in the oppositional semantic field thus enabling a transgression of boundaries. The ideological contents of the kinship code centres around the category of the brother who turns out to be the worldly protector of the norm. The religious exaggeration of categories such as individual and collective are discussed with regard to Durkheim's theses. The symbolism of the heroes is analyzed and the text itself is then confirmed as a sociological charter.

The author presents a dialogue between critique and creativity and a comparative study of literature.

Here, the contrast between the political aims of the missionary movement and the traditionalistic policy of the East India Company are described with regard to the different interest groups, the public and parliament.

100 Vijayanagara : city and empire : new currents of research / edited by Anna Libera Dallapiccola in collaboration with Stephanie Zingel-Avé Lallemant. - 1985. ISBN 3-515-04554-6

Vol.1. Texts. - XIII, 439 p., index pp. 403-439.

Vol.2. Reference and documentation. - X, 221 p.

These two volumes are the output of the international conference on "The kingdom of Vijayanagar" held at Heidelberg from July 12th to 16th, 1983. The aim of the conference was to take stock of current research on Vijayanagara since the memorable sexcentenary meeting at Dharwad, 1936. The amount of material collected in the last few years, especially thanks to the work of the Department of Archaeology and Museums of the State of Karnataka, the Archaeological Survey of India and, last but not least, to the volunteers' team headed by Drs. J. Fritz and G. Michell, constitutes the hard core of factual evidence around which the papers presented revolve. The new discoveries at the site were an incentive to re-think the purport of this most important period of Indian history and culture, all too often dismissed as "decadent". The new finds and the thought-provoking comments of the experts usher in a new era in the long neglected Vijayanagara Studies. The value of the book is enhanced by the rich documentation material collected in the second volume and a comprehensive index.
