Official policies and funds combined with private entrepreneurial energies and investment to intensify India's linkages with the world market in trade, industry, agriculture, and natural resource extraction. Slow, but in the long term steady, population expansion accompanied this trend. After 1947, economic development accelerated under five-year plans in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, and transformed the earlier colonial economy. Population figures have similarly shot up since partition and independence. These two linked trends have accompanied steadily intensifying human intervention in the natural environment of the subcontinent over the same time. One effect, among others, has been dramatic alteration in land use and vegetation cover. Comparing Francis Buchanan's early nineteenth-century descriptions of the countryside in both north and south India with the appearance of these areas today suggests just how sweeping these changes have been. The landscape of today in virtually every Indian district is very different from that seen two hundred or even hundred years ago.

Without such a role for the central authority, control of local politics becomes impossible and, without such centralization, the stability of the entire empire is threatened. This policy has often acted to support or maintain local socio-economic relationships which, in the absence of overarching centralization, would show greater instability and flux. The precise nature of these relations can best be seen in an examination of the interregnum period between the decline of one imperial power and the imposition of a new generation of centralized stability.

A central factor in the justification for British rule in India lay not in the realm of economics... more A central factor in the justification for British rule in India lay not in the realm of economics but rather in the vocabulary of honor. Imperialism, as the public discourse ran, was all about achievement and demonstrated achievement. Late Victorian England revisited and reinvented a sense of neo-feudalism and over time this was translated into an imperial ethic of honorable service to the empire and to the Queen-Emperor. 1 While the ideology of the era had created and gradually demanded adherence to the concept that the Crown was the " fount of all honour, " this was to be an encompassing system of honor that bound together all who were subordinate to the Empress. In India, this included not only her British (and, almost as an afterthought, Indian) servants in the " red " parts of the habitual nineteenth-century map, those areas under direct British rule but was also intended to recognize (and, in some ways, especially targeted on) the " yellow " parts of India's political map, those areas ruled by the " Princes " of India. As it would have been unreasonable to expect earlier Sultanate and Timurid modes of governance and of political ceremonial not to influence the overall political vocabulary of the Subcontinent, so would it have been irrational not to expect the altered and progressively altering Victorian view of represented politics not to set indigenous roots and " trickle down " into all niches of India's political ecology. Over the last decades of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century, the quasi-independent Indian rulers were drawn, often enthusiastically, into a new mode of representing and acting out political honor. Earlier concepts of khillut and peshkash were at first supplemented – and later replaced by – the award of orders, decorations, and medals to represent loyal and faithful service not only within " British India " but also within " Indian India ". This paper will survey the downward filtration of what the British saw as uniquely " European " modes of representing honor into those Indian-ruled portions of the empire where the

Ignoring the omnipresent racism that lay beneath this process and facilitated the rule of many millions of Asians by a few thousands of Europeans, this continual reprocessing of Indic reality was a The research presented in this paper has been supported by grants from the American Institute oflndian Studies, the Shell Companies Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Unlike India's Turkic conquers of several centuries before, the British never had to confront the Mongols sacking London (as they had Baghdad), severing thereby their external link with "home" and forcing the foreign rulers back upon their own Indic cultural resources. While the Gurhids, Khaljis, and their successors became increasingly "Indian", the British remained perpetual outsiders in an alien land where colonization on the Canadian, Australian, or South African model was discouraged consciously. Conceptually, these transient Anglo-Indians (in the earlier meaning) tried to make India somewhat less alien by imagining it into a cultural and historical reality of their own devising, creating thereby such dubious offspring as feudalism, communalism, "Martial Races", Curzonian orientalism, and a census-specific subcontinental incarnation of caste. Yet-as this panel addresses-there were within this imperial structure Europeans who were, even within the norms of Anglo-Indian society, special outsiders. There were some-perhaps many-British officials who we can readily imagine awakening early on some dark morning, asking themselves "Why are we here?", and being unable to return to sleep secure in an easy The research presented in this paper bas been supported by grants from the American Institute of Indian Studies, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Foreign Currency Program of the Smithsonian Institution.

The room is neither very large nor small, neither full of furniture nor entirely empty. Vasant is a manager in a firm and receives a salary of rupees 250. While this is not considered very much in Delhi, he is a manager and therefore curtains hang on the windows. A table stands against the right wall. On it are a pile of papers and a telephone. On this side of the table is a door which opens into another room. On the other side is a mantlepiece over a fireplace which probably is not used for fire because an extremely beautiful cloth hangs over the opening; there are many things on the mantle-just as in middle class homes-but they are arranged, not just scattered about. In addition, there is a brass flower vase on each corner of the mantle. The long fringe of the fireplace cloth touches a radio placed on sma'l table. This table is also covered with a beautifully embroidered table cloth and tells of Madhu's good taste. On the wall above the fireplace is a calendar, hung so that it would be directly in front of anyone seated at the table. A glance at the calendar shows that it is November 1943. In the wall adjacent to the fireplace there is a door leading to the kitchen.

In an economy in scarcity, a pocket watch or cigarette case was of greater utility than a screwback award.
